Reviewed by Jelli Records in January 2026:
Jol sings atmospheric tunes which catch the moment and tell stories of road journeys, protest, love and loss, things that we can all identify with.
This is a noteworthy album with lots of little gems, the songs are entertaining and they have a story for every listener and Jol has captured the genre extremely well. (A) remarkable album.
It’s a mix of old and new, a couple of covers thrown in for good measure. Inspired by Tiny Desk, we had cameras rolling and picked up everything, straight via the ribbon to digital. Warts’n’all. Ragged.
Devizine blog has reviewed me again – and again left me speechless. The review closes with:
Just man and guitar, the pure essence of sole quality, and in Jol Rose it is exceptional, this album showcases it without pretence or ignorance. He’s a figure of reality in a world gone sour, and he expresses it sublimely.
