"This second plank of seasoned 'heavy wood' music from Sheffield's Treebeard sees them once again hoisting their Campaign For Real Folk-Rock flag ... a relaxed lope through Tull's 'Dun Ringill' is one of the clutch of covers - other notables are Zep's 'Going to California' and Nigel Mazlyn Jones 'A Singularly Fine Day' .... For the cognoscenti, though, it's the original material that stands out. Flautist Ceri Ashton's 'Ale Jug/Rice' is the pick of a fine bunch of instrumentals, though 'Three McMahon's' runs it close, with Chris McMahon's electric twin neck mandola excesses just one of the many reminders of three-fifths of the band's proggy alter-egos as Haze. Of the songs, the supernatural ballad 'Highwayman's Hollow' is the one you'll find yourself humming for days afterwards. This is craft-brewed English folk-rock of the finest order. Drink irresponsibly."
