“Andy Baylor is one of Melbourne’s greatest musical treasures… He lives by his trade and his trade is music.”
Keith Glass, Herald Sun
“Over the years Andy Baylor has taken us on a world tour of musical styles, from western swing to Cajun boogie, country blues to sublime pop…Like many of the finest things in life, Andy’s new record takes it’s time to reveal its many delights. What at first seems a record of simple dignity gradually emerges as emotionally complex and full of quiet passion.“
Jeff Glorfeld, The Age
“Melbourne is a treasure trove of fine music and marvellous musical practitioners. One of the most gifted is Andy Baylor. He is a master of space and time.”
