FRAZZ Album "Listeners will hear favourable comparisons with .. Paul Kelly on Slow Down (with Power), the country-kissed Delusions (with Gavin) which eases close to solo Mark Knopfler" "Gillespie has .. pushed the boundaries here with the colour from his chiming guitar, the saxophone of Robertson on the almost eight minute, increasingly menacing Jealous Man (bleakly funny if your humour runs cold and black) and the popping Afro-sound of Papa Wemba (She Dances). "Lyrically these songs are multi-layered and repay careful attention to their detail" Graham Reid 6/3/23 https://www.elsewhere.co.nz/music/10602/one-we-missed-wayne-gillespie-and-famous-blue-raincoat-frazz-digital-outlets/
