- David Fricke Rolling Stone
"From the first note I was drawn in. Malcolm Holcombe is an old soul and modern day blues poet. He is a rare find."
- Lucinda Williams
"Malcolm Holcombe sings in a gruff and dusty voice that's harsh with experience. But there's a wisdom to his delivery, and a brittle beauty to his rootsy tunes that make his music a pleasure to listen to."
- Jim Farber New York Daily News
"Some singers have an old soul, but Malcolm Holcombe has always felt downright primordial. Across the ages, he has developed a rugged state of grace that's all his own."
- Rick Cornell No Depression
