An Album Review from www.eMusic.com

Riding a Hurricane - This is a real gem of an album, an absolute diamond. Produced by Billy Bragg (respect, respect) who clearly knows great songwriting talent when he sees it. Mutter Slater, the superb showman, singer and flautist of the great British rock enigma that is Stackridge, takes us on a wonderful journey of discovery and surprise here. Wistful, poignant and emotional songs - all backed up by awesomely powerful singing from Mutter and a razor-tight, stripped-down backing band. From the title track to 'I'm Holding Your Picture' and 'Strangers In One Room' this is moving music. Classic stuff. Bring on more.
