A great collection of Ed Harcourt-produced troubadour antics from the very
formal Mr. David Viner, whose writing is on fine form here, with beautiful songs
like 'Go Home' and 'Lavender' somehow taking fingerpicked, acoustic guitar-based
music into a territory you couldn't reasonably brand as folk. He's an immensely
likable singer-songwriter, one who doesn't excessively exude seriousness,
although one whose work nevertheless commands your attention. Although several
tracks seem to accumulate strings, banjo and horns, you're none the worse off
for hearing Viner at his most raw and uncovered: the title track is an utterly
bare-boned Bert Jansch-style acoustic number, and although elsewhere you'll find
good use of those more audacious arrangements, the performance on 'Among The
Rumours And The Rye' is mesmerisingly brilliant. Viner's lyrics are completely
engrossing and the guitar is played beautifully - two of the more essential
attributes of any singer songwriter, though two of the hardest to pin down.
