Reviews:
DJ Frederick, Seldom Heard Radio
This wonderful album opens with the swirling sustain of an organ, lilting percussion (bodhran?) quiet, precise guitar and earthy vocals & builds from there. Traditional in one sense, quietly experimental in others, Hobbyhorse's Break in the Clouds embodies the magic that is woven in the art of folk music - and by folk music I mean music that is authentic, spirited & manifest from the love of creation rather than 'music industry' profit motive. Each song is a delight of discovery.

DD Rocker, Iron Maidens Radio Show
I received your CD today - thank you so much! I find the music simultaneously stimulating and relaxing (if that makes sense), as well as being downright enchanting!
I'll play three tracks from it, for sure [on my next show]. No doubt I'll get some other songs from the CD on-air on subsequent shows.

... The instrumental music alone is extremely well worth taking the time to listen to. There are a couple of songs, one in particular, "Goddess of Mercy" that I found easy to use while meditating and “Lullaby”, a easy simple soft tune one I use to ease myself with and I love the instrumentals in it. The entire CD has several sections where the talents of the artist are proven over and over again. While I have not seen them in person, I can only imagine from what I have heard and read from those that have had the opportunity to see them, it is an experience you soon won’t forget.- SageKatt
