Album Notes

"The record is a true masterpiece, and each song sheds light
on a differentaspect of the human element."
-Performing Songwriter Magazine

"We are nearly halfway through 2006, and
Song and Void is the best album to be released."
-antimusic.com

"Nick Cave. Bob Dylan. Leonard Cohen. Tom Waits.... a man who is following in the footsteps of the greats in a massively competent way... He sings of misery, memorial, mortality, and loss. He evokes religious imagery, erecting church houses to pray in and supreme beings to beseech."
-CHRONOGRAM

"Was singer-songwriter Richard McGraw ever a Catholic altar boy? His combination of Nick Cave's religiosity and Leonard Cohen's sensuality sure qualifies him."
-BigO

"Ας πάρουμε όμως τα πράγματα από την αρχή: ο Richard McGraw είναι ένας τραγουδοποιός που ενσαρκώνει ιδανικά τον μέσο αμερικάνο singer / songwriter"
-www.mic.gr

Quand, sur la platine, ai posé "Song and void", deuxième album de Richard McGraw, l'ai cru, dès "butter hill", le premier morceau, échappé du "no more shall we part" de Nick Cave.
-ikhtonie.net

"Well if there's one thing I hate it's angsty singer / songwriters armed with acoustic guitars and reams of faux-meaningful lyrics...But strangely, I really really liked this from the start, and was quickly sucked into his tales of mortality and memorial...I hope it gets the success it deserves. "

Why has no one ever heard of Richard Mcgraw?
author: Anon
This album is the real deal. The songwriting is top notch (don't forget to read the lyric sheet), the production is amazing and Mr. Mcgraw's voice is filled with emotion, passion, longing, loss. If it's the one thing you do all weekend, buy this record now...

i'm in love

Beautiful, hilarious,and at times a wee bit tragic....my favourite kind of storytelling. So many great harmonies and arrangements... it's like a very full-bodied glass of wine that i want to sip slowly until the bottle is empty. I bought it twice.
