“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!”

“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.”

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