“Impressive, agile playing.”

“Spellbinding”

“Masterful guitar playing.”

“Perfect Americana”

“Lucky Hand is a wide-ranging, far-reaching collection of masterful guitar.”

“The combination of modern and older 'primitive' styles is noted by Joe Henry who says "it conjures the ghost of John Fahey for me - not in imitation, but by way of joining a tradition and then extending its range."

“The Juno award-winner employs a string quartet on several tracks, not merely as a setting but as an integral part of each composition, providing an intriguing sound that enhances Dawson's Kottke-Fahey informed approach to his music.”

“Some of the coolest fingerpicking you’re likely to hear,”

“Filled with surprises and plenty of excellent guitar playing, this is an album that grows better with each listen.”
