“ “The hubris of calling themselves Famous Blue Raincoat is definitely justified ..I don’t know about Cohen for me there is an essence of Lou Reed in that track Chapel Street..”” - John Lampe Tempo The Pulse Radio

— The Pulse (94.7FM The Pulse) -1:10 to 1:20

When the foundations of your house are shaken there is only one way to build it up …Brick By Brick.

 A touch of Rock/Funk which has also been built brick by brick starting with Wayne’s Stonesy guitar motif with Robs funk-rock rhythms providing the foundation, cemented by Goby Catts driving Bass –Wayne’s craggy vocals providing structure then sandpapered and brushed with the Jazz colours from Ric Robertson’s saxes.
