"Ace album of the issue" - "We became aware of the exceptional talents of Ben Walker the moment he applied subtle, inventive guitar accompaniment to Josienne Clarke's mesmerising voice ...This, his first solo album, achieves something of a landmark in his quest to mine ever deeper the riches of the English tradition ... Walker's research (...) stretches not only to intense research of the original material, but the times, the back story and the people involved ... He draws on wide experience of music of contrasting vintage - from classically to electronica - for a thoroughly beautiful array of settings, with Kitty Macfarlane, Laura Hockenhull, Bella Hardy, Thom Ashworth, Jinwoo, Laura Ward and Hazel Askew among those co-opted in to provide empathetic vocals ... Whichever way you look at it - lovely singing, great guitar, deep songs or a profound statement connecting past and present - it sounds very special"

"Echo is a very special, imaginative album. The depth of research that Ben has undertaken, giving both historical contexts and information appertaining to associated personae, results in the listener being richly rewarded. Also to be applauded is the thoughtful sequencing of tracks, a healthy nod to the days when such things were important, (at least to some of us)"
