What The Press Said About ALONE ON A MOUNTAIN TOP (The Ty Bach Twt Sessions)
“Deliciously raw and spellbinding…A wonderful homespun triumph”. (MOJO)
“A compelling set of vocal theatrics and spectral blues communion”. (UNCUT)
“From the first track I was hooked. There’s a lot of post-Buckley angst around these days but Christopher is completely head and shoulders above that. There’s a depth to what he does and a roughness that goes with that melodic suss. To me the thing that’s encouraging is that he’s even better live. That and the fact that ‘Alone On A Mountain Top’ is actually another step along the way as he learns his craft. And when you bear in mind where he’s at now, that’s pretty scary”. (Phil Alexander - MOJO)
“A pretty outstanding feat… If anyone sold his soul at the crossroads it was this guy right here”. (MAVERICK)
“A major instrument in its own right, his fine impassioned voice can be fragile and understated and then shit-kicking and furious. As absorbing in the hearing as in its creation, ‘Alone On A Mountain Top’ reveals a new artist within reach of the summit”. (COMES WITH A SMILE)
“Three things radiate from this collection of songs: courage, confidence and character. In the big bad world of American-dominated, lonesome, white trash blues, the competition is fierce but Christopher Rees has never been afraid to plough his own lonely furrow and 'Alone On A Mountain Top’ finds him standing tall and strong, with the likes of Johnny Cash, Jack White and even Springsteen (c.1986 - 'Nebraska' era). All high-charged aching lyrics, wailing harmonica and guitars, it’s a heartfelt, optimistic and gorgeous album that’ll be hard to beat”. (DROWNED IN SOUND)
“A thrilling performer who doesn’t hold anything of himself back. Unflinching and venomous…A truly incredible talent”. (BIG ISSUE)
