Chris Nickson reviews April Cruel at allmusic.com: www.allmusic.com/album/april-cruel-r2249871
"a post Nashville Skyline Dylan" - Uncut ****
"one of the Uk's best kept secrets" - Phil Alexander, Mojo ****
"a triumph of English Americana" - Time Out
"dark tales of drunkenness and murder" - The Independent
The 11 tracks on Jason McNiff’s Nobody’s Son are subtly beautiful. Flanked by members of Grand Drive and the Hank Dogs, McNiff abandons the electric-guitar solo and cymbal crash for a more understated approach featuring a variety of acoustic arrangements and mysterious subject matter.
McNiff surrounds much of the album with the dark lyrical themes commonly associated with the British folk scene he came from.
