Album Notes

Latest 'Songs For Sooner' Press Quotes:

"Faithfield inhabits the same rich musical world as Christy Moore, Luka Bloom and Glen Hansard. His songs are wistful, romantic, deeply felt, beautifully crafted and sung with a voice that pours sincerity and emotion over every line and note...This is a sublime, heart-stoppingly beautiful album from a major new Australian folk talent" - 4 STAR REVIEW (Bruce Elder) SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"His message is that all shades of experience can be metamorphosed into positivity and individualistic growth...layers of meaning are revealed gradually" - 4 STAR REVIEW (Anthony O'Grady) THE AUSTRALIAN
