throughout this fine collection of songs."
- Rogue Folk Review

===================================================================
"I always thought Bill Bourne should have starred with Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood in 'The Unforgiven.' He's a goddamn movie star, I'd say, with that black top hat and card shark face.
More importantly, he is a 'shining light' in the 'North American' Folk Roots scene. He sings, plays guitar and writes with deep soul, and on the current musical landscape these talents constitute a revolutionary act of ART.
Listen to Bill Bourne; get Religion, brother and sister. This is the real thing".
