'Come a Long Way' album reviews (2023)

This reviewer has a lot of catching up to do on the back catalogue of Ben Reel and would humbly suggest, dear reader, that you do to. Lovingly crafted music that would easily find a place in the music library of Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle and Johnny Cash fans to name but three. Impressive. ****” - Jason Ritchie
