— The Donald Anderson Band, Press Release

“Malachy Tallack meets singer-songwriter Donald Anderson to discuss his new album, In Passing. It is difficult to know how to introduce In Passing. Is this Donald Anderson’s second album? Or the debut from The Donald Anderson Band? The CD cover at least suggests the latter, and fans of the songwriter’s solo record Waterhead Sky (2005) will find the musical distance that lies between these two excellent pieces of work impossible to ignore.”

— Malachy Tallack , Shetland Life

“Sultans of Swing The Donald Anderson Band is celebrating the release of their debut album In Passing. recorded in Ronavik Studios in Aith, with the help of Marvin Smith in mixing and production, this collection of contemporary rock songs has been three years in the making”

— Jennifer Mclean, ii Shetland

“Anderson sets high benchmark with CD Anderson follows with the equally impressive Weathering, and later in the album comes the superb Maybe We Could Ask …, just shading What I’ve Left Behind and In The Morning as the stand-out. ”

— August 12th, 2011 by Jim Tait, The Shetland Times
