..a stunningly original album.
He has a fine voice, marvellous technique and shows a welcome respect for lyrics. It is the variety of approach to each piece that gives the album such distinction.
"There can be no doubt that with the release of this CD Matthew Ford has leapt to the front rank of British Singers... Apart from the excellent singing, the arrangements, shared between James Pearson and Colin Skinner are strikingly original without being distracting, and the instrumentation is large enough to give body to the uptempo numbers without sounding like a conventional big band, providing a more flexible showcase for the singer...I could not recommend this CD highly enough. Make no mistake Matthew Ford is the genuine article."

"Matt Ford has what it takes to hold an audience in the palm of his hand whatever their age group, in other words he has that certain something...I've often been told in recent years that he was really good, but I didn't realise just how good until I saw him in a sell out concert.."
