“Timeless and utterly current...as much Woody Guthrie as Chance the Rapper.”
“Engaging, breathtaking, each work on this folk masterpiece is chilling. Max García Conover is a composer of great talent; his songs are unmistakably appealing.”
“Man this is some gorgeous stuff. Conover is a hell of a fingerstyle guitarist and he has an arresting vocal style, with a ton of presence.”
“Conover has a warm, unique voice, and his lyrics tell stories in literary ways that make people care.”
“These are songs with real heart and character, that demand repeated listens.”
“...Genuine and true and [hits] home in a way similar to other folk greats such as Iron and Wine.”
“Springsteen-esque at points, yet soaked in an almost John Hughes sense of romanticism.”
“As Burrow comes to its last tracks, I found that the whole album never seemed to die down. 5 out of 5.”
“His images pour out like Dylan Thomas or James Joyce, like impressionistic paintings, full of feelings.”
