"When I say this new album from Wayne Gillespie & Famous Blue Raincoat is all over the place I mean it as a total compliment, such is the diversity of songs, styles and sounds on it. That's why they call it frazz - think folk, rock and jazz. . . it's frazz! I love it and hope you find time to spend some time with it and embrace the songs here as I have." – Stuart Coupe
