"...some songs sneak along solo on vapour wisps of guitar and vocals, others swell with organ, strings, and percussion straining for space. All are graced by uncluttered, direct lyrics that reveal the craft of a man with nothing to hide." "...Dave Simpson's new CD, So, Sober, which hushes its way through simple, powerful tunes that lay out his story with lyrical jabs that lead to a knockout." -Mary Lynn Wardle, Fast Forward magazine "The sublimely modest and impassioned disc, sounds like a vaguely country mashup of Joseph Arthur, David Gray and Damien Rice" -Mike Bell, The Calgary Sun
