“This album will probably work best with a bottle of red wine a dark candlelit room wraithed in incense and other pungeant aromas so you can wallow in the mellow dark majesty of these songs of the darker side of our streets from the opening title track the album conjures up vignette after vignette that could be outlines for good films ”
