“It’s good to have him back.”- Billy Sloan, BBC Radio Scotland 

“An album that will definitely remind you of Springsteen and Petty, MacFarlane uses a modest amount of twang and the Scotland native retains the spirit of his home country to give it a distinct angle. Writing a song a day during lockdown, he certainly bared his soul in these stories, and it makes every second here worth respect and admiration.”- 9/10
