**** 4/5   Q 

“Latterday jujuman…a blast”
**** 4/5   UNCUT

“thigh-slapping fun”
MARK KERMODE in WORD MAGAZINE

“Evokes Cash, Waits, Dylan and Lou Reed but never merely the work of a copyist…constantly surprising…it’s great so see this get a proper release”
***** 5/5 INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

‘This New Zealand native now deserves to have his dark poems heralded for the mini gothic gems that they are….It’s a vintage sound redolent of a jazz combo on a lost highway. It’s also a sound that should draw rockabilly freaks, jazz hipsters and you into its beguiling midst.’
*** 3/5   R2

“Hauntingly memorable”
THE ARTS DESK

‘Davidson conjures up a whole world, part carny, part pagan rite,
and there’s a power to his music that will not be denied’
 7/10  AMERICANA.co.uk

“Engaging showman and raconteur, who used a loop pedal, his voice, guitar, harmonica to create a brooding wall of sound. The best moment came when, having created a waltz backing track, he left the stage and began to dance with one of the audience.
Within a minute he had half-a-dozen couples joining in”
**** BRISTOL EVENING POST

“Davidson’s debut is a swamp blast. You’ll like it”
