Here are a selection of reviewers' comments:

“James J Turner is a superb talent, a strong mature musician, with a great sound ” Classic Rock Society Magazine

“an intriguing release, with some seriously great songs” Julian Piper, ACOUSTIC Magazine

“A potent piece of folk rock. If justice was done, there really shouldn’t be anyone that doesn’t already know this man’s work ... hooks more infectious than a virulent virus .... This music will get inside your brain and stay there ... ‘Spirit, Soul & a Handful of Mud’ is gut-level, earthy music you cannot ignore ... consistently outstanding” Tim Carroll, Folkwords

“Astonishingly good tunes ... giving rein to his considerable talent ... a glorious concoction of acoustic guitar, fiddle, and Turner’s ever-powerful voice ... a cracking record that in turn crackles with optimism and exuberance” Pagan Dawn Magazine.

"Mike Scott with a baseball bat"
Steve Caseman, R2 Magazine
