Jeff Finlin might be
one of the finest American troubadours since Bob Dylan. Just ask Bruce
Springsteen or director Cameron Crowe. more
J R Moehringer, 5280 magazine
|
His words may catch your heart
off-guard, but know better: This songwriter is a poet in the
guise of an everyman. more
Josh Johnson, 5280 magazine

| "Finlin
is a compelling story teller... of colourful, broody tales
boasting a taut plot
so
deep and mysterious you could lose yourself in the lines for
days."
Colin
Somerville, Scotland on Sunday
|
"Last
seen in the UK supporting Steve Earle, Finlin is an all-American
original
whose singing recalls John Hiatt, Dylan and even Dr John. But his
songwriting has its own unique character and seems to become more honed
and concentrated with every album."
Nigel
Williamson, Uncut
|
"What Finlin has are the somethings you
can't put into words but have been the fabric of artists such as Dylan,
Townes Van Zandt, John Prine and others, all too few and all a step
above." more
Frank O Gutch, Jr, Rock and Reprise.net |
"...Jeff
Finlin has, over the course of half a dozen albums, acquired a
reputation of being a less is more writer par excellence, a lover of
somewhat opaque imagery and a maker of music that requires commitment
to listen to rather than something you put on while vacuuming..."
JS, Maverick magazine |
| "It
is a delicious gravelly beautiful voice that gives the rich tapestry of
the music its first, most important stroke. Finlin plays it
all on here, brush-stroking his unique vision, finely accenting the
protagonists
of these songs. Listen. Just
Listen."

"...This
was one of the best live shows I have seen this, or any other
year.
Mid-set Finlin says: "This is a song about waiting. I don't
like to wait, but I'm better at it now than I used to
be."
The waiting may soon be over, because a talent like this cannot stay a
secret for ever." more
Colin
Somerville, Scotland on Sunday
|
| "Finlin's
a master of the story in song - and his rough and tumble voice
intensifies
the poignancy of his terse lyrics.
Gary
Glauber, Popmatters
|
"It
is probably a good test of a singer songwriter to play their songs,
with
minimal accompaniment, to an unfamiliar audience and have them
accepted.
In Galway Jeff Finlin passed that test with flying colours..."
