Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The voice of Charlie Harrigan is one of rough silk enhanced by a gracious sentimental charm, it is just a shame that for quite some time he has been missing from the world of Folk music and the big hole he left was never ever going to be filled by anyone until he was ready to come back and plug himself back into it.

Time may have moved on but the snug fit of expectation has not been weathered or tempered and the joy in hearing Charlie Harrigan’s voice once more in a new collection of songs is not Wasted And Wounded, rather it is a feeling of gracious mercy.
