Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There are albums which are just so seamless in their presentation that the listener can only imagine that the premium tailor in the country stitched it together with the finest deluxe invisible silk. Ron Sayer Jr.’s and Charlotte Joyce’s album Hard To Please fits that description so well that the outstanding guitar that Ron Sayer Jr. employs may as well be considered the sharp needle which weaves the notes together and then embroiders the beautiful voice Charlotte Joyce within in its sumptuous  tapestry.
