Industry Reviews
5 stars out of 5 - HOTWALKER is a colossal achievement....It's the lost post-war landscape of Beat pioneers, outsider poets and drunken angels...
4 stars out of 5 - Russell's growling, atmospheric songs are interspersed with intriguing cameos....A graphic paean to a maverick, free-spirited, yet more beautiful age.
It's a tribute to outsider culture....HOTWALKER is a fascinating trip back to a lost era and is an original work by anyone's standards.
