Since Then
Reviews
“Baxter provides the raw material; strong, melodic folk rock songs, and a voice that could be accurately described using the same pronouns. Steel takes this input and adds some double acoustic guitar lines, mandolin and some roaring harp phrases and fashions Baxter’s music into a compelling CD......A surprisingly good debut.” Stephen Andrew, Rhythms Magazine, October 1995
“Rollicking is the word that springs to mind when listening to Peter Baxter. In the tradition of Australian story telling and that strange Celtic sound that seeps through much of our culture, here stands Peter Baxter with his sticker laden guitar case. Since Then is tasteful....Hopefully we’ll hear it on the airwaves soon. (9/10) “ Eric Lewis, Beat Magazine
“Extraordinarily material. Dave Steel’s warm production empathises with Baxter’s acoustic feel” Peter Holmes, The Sun Herald, September 1995
“A fantastic disc from a songwriter with some memorable songs and a great voice” The Form Guide, Punters Club, Melbourne, October 1995
“A fine first up effort!” Dirty Linen (USA) April / May 1996
“Thumbs Up. Crunchy folk-rock...hot new version of Biko”Folk Roots (UK) Jan / Feb 1996
“On the strength of Since Then he’ll be worth seeing live”Rock n Reel (UK)
