A collection of 14 superb original songs that tell stories of our times. From the closure of the Mines in the UK to the war in Iraq and few hearts broken in between. Dave Wilson has soaked up influences from the like of Richard Thompson, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Earl, Townes Van Zandt and so on. Not that this shows in the songs, he’s added his own stamp on each one and coupled with the great folk/blues voice of Kip Winter “These are the things” is a class album. “both Dave and Kip being the proud possessors of brilliantly expressive voices which Dave’s skilled (mostly acoustic) guitar work compellingly enhances. You really don’t need anything else to bring these excellent songs alive.” Net Rhythms magazine
