“If you like Stéphane Grappelli, you're sure to like this. Ben McClelland is a fine, fine violinist / fiddle player.”

“This title song is a sweet ballad that hearkens back to Ben's previous album, Like the Monsters (which is also a must-hear, by the way). Though it departs from the folky bluegrass elements of other songs on Glasgow Ferry, it fits into the theme of roots-based music, and adds a melancholic touch (especially with the ferry's lonesome foghorn sound).”

“The versatility of Ben McClelland is amazing. His bluegrass-y jazz chops are right on... along with the other band members.”

“This is a rowsin' and rockin' rendition of an old classic. If you like bluegrass and roots music, you'll be stompin' your boots from the first measure. Yee haw!”

“I almost see a train oozing away in the garden with flowerful orange trees. I love the violin, I love the pictures I see when I hear the music. I like it :-)”

“Emotional song that begins very low to the ground, then explodes with violins, electric guitar and voice. We've all been here. ”

“Such a great use of violin as a rhythm instrument. Deep resonant voice... think Leonard Cohen. Awash with great production values. Check it out.”

“Dark layers of violin, electronic beat, deep vocals, digiredoo? Nice acoustic/electronic sound. ”

“If you can put aside the disco beat, the multi-layered violin tracks in this piece are tres intéresser. Great ambient groove.”
