Press

““Cluck old Hen” is the first vocal album from Joel Fafard in this decade. .......There are moments when they play with such cohesion and intimacy it sounds like a single instrument. Few players in acoustic music today know how to really listen to each other as well as these guys. Front and center is the Fafard guitar, lean, lanky, alternately pounding and heartbreaking; not a superfluous phrase or lick, never a note out of place...... .....A new album from someone who’s previous work has been a favourite is always approached with a little trepidation. No fear here—Fafard is in fine form, at the top of his game, his guitar howling in the wind and pounding frown the dirt roads where the blues live. In a long string of great recordings, it continues a tradition of greatness. Buy two; you’ll want to give one to someone you like. ”

— Jurgen Gothe, Former Host CBC Disc Drive
