ARTIST: Richard Leschen
His eye for detail shines with interesting and intelligent lyrics that draw from his American history and present life as an NZ resident. A good listening album full of life stories and mixed landscapes, a good player that takes simple technique and opens your inner ear to what's being sung. - Dave Gideon, NZ Musican
Leschen writes with his heart on his sleeve, and captures the moment with cynically crafted and surreal references to worldly ways, posturing by the undeserving and aloof in front of a backdrop of Americana. - Andy Bramwell, Waikato Times
A wonderful guitar picker, who sings a set of Dylan-like lyrics, heavily influenced by his American cowboy background. Maybe he can't ride a horse, but he certainly takes you there with his songs. - Roger Giles, President of Devonport Folk Music Club & Auckland Folk Festival Inc
Comfortable backporch music best suited at the end of a hard day and a cold beer. His easy going style belie a knack for literary detail and story telling that's way above the typical folk singer. - Calvin Powers, Taproot Radio...
