1997 (EMI)
REVIEWS
‘From the short, satirical Wedding Poem, through the intensely beautiful Hera to the visionary and political Lesser Shadows, Priest shows a depth and complexity that operates on many levels, raising his performance above a bar-room rant or a wishy-washy poetry reading to an intense experience, something akin to a trance session”
– Lucy Mallows, The Budapest Sun Oct 22-28 1998
“Some of these are mellow thoughts about lovers, poems and trees, others are down right rambunctious rocking sprees or resemble the scary voices you hear in your head.. He’s got a range.”
– Elysia Gallo Budapest Week
“This is the edge of poetry … there seems to be a synergous amalgamation between songs. The passing from mundane to supra-mundane torches from beginning to end is quite unique”
– Suzanne Legault Northern Life (Sudbury)
“Grand & Mystic”
– Jason Anderson (Eye Magazine)
“A work of words and funky grooves that is extremely listenable …Vote Shit elevates excrement above politicians in a way that King Missile’s John S. Hall would be proud of. Ticket to Hell is great protest-and-bile folk vented in the direction of the tax man. Both soothing and biting, this is well done.
– Darren Kerr, Drop Dead Magazine
