Press Acclaim

Chris Spector
Midwest Record

Welsh park ranger by day, sensitive acoustic guitarist by night, this dude’s day job certainly gives him the space to be a sensitive guitarist as he’s surrounded by a lot of nature and probably a lot of solitude if “Local Hero” gave us any indication and things haven’t changed much. A nice look back at simplicity and elegance meeting at the vortex and making pure music that easily touches you. A very winning debut.

Kudos to Terence Yallop and Real Music for releasing this debut effort from acoustic guitarist/keyboardist/percussionist Mike Howe. Time Stands Still evokes favorable comparison to Bruce BecVar’s classic Forever Blue Sky, albeit more relaed and subdued in nature — although the uptempo “Musselwick” is easily one of the best songs I’ve heard this year with a catchy-as-all-get-out refrain. However, it’s the gentle embrace of tracks such as “Falling Leaf, Turning World,” “Journey Home,” and “When the Snow Comes” that delivers exquisite listening enjoyment. Besides BecVar, I also heard echoes of Mark Knopfler’s softer pieces (e.g., his soundtrack to “The Princess Bride”). With its outstanding cover, give this CD prominent shelf space as well as plenty of in-store play.
