EDITION RELEASE 2007! "What's so remarkable about Bickhardt's work isn't simply the absolutely stunning quality of songs, all of which are uniformly strong, interesting and thought provoking. What really makes his work click is the emotional depth in his voice and his presentation. He puts a lump in a listener's throat and a thought in a listener's head, frequently at the same time."- Mark Gould, Sound Waves Magazine 2/07 "Craig Bickhardt has spent a lifetime crafting intelligently lean, but meaningful songs... meticulously shaped, with a keen literary and narrative approach. Most crucially; he is a communicator, capable of touching the heart of his listeners." - John Brindle, Maverick Magazine (UK) "These are the spaces Bickhardt inhabits with his lyrics, quiet, imaginative, deeply poetic..." - Naila Francis, The Intelligencer. A retrospective covering over two decades of recordings. Features three rare, out of print cuts plus five previously unreleased cuts, including two duets with Wendy Waldman* recorded in 1983, and Craig's version of Untasted Honey made popular by Kathy Mattea. Quantities Limited! |

They convey believable real life experiences rather than slickly produced, though emotionally bereft material one often associates with Nashville. (****)" -John Brindle, Maverick Magazine |
