Reviews of FRAZZ - Wayne Gillespie & Famous Blue Raincoat

“Gillespie has stretched himself and pushed the boundaries here with the colour from his chiming guitar, the saxophone of Robertson ......Lyrically these songs are also multi-layered and repay careful attention to their detail.” Graham Reid, 6/3/2023. FRAZZ_Elsewhere.com.nz
When I say this new album is all over the place I mean it as a total compliment, such is the diversity of songs, styles, and sounds on it....Folk, Rock, and Jazz. . . it’s FRAZZ! Stuart Coupe Music Writer -24/6/2022
“Brick By Brick -That's good! Saxophones sound like Bowie 'plastic soul' era Martin Phillips (The Chills) Used with permission 17/10/21.
“(Bananas#2) - A jazzy Lou Reed, film noir, Miles Davis kind of vibe ” UK podcasters @yhhtmpc. August 2022
“(Delusions) - Like Leonard Cohen in a cosmic country folk dream -Post to the Wire- Sep 2022
“The hubris of calling themselves Famous Blue Raincoat is definitely justified ..I don’t know about Cohen, for me there is an essence of Lou Reed in that track (Chapel Street)..” John Lampe Tempo The Pulse (94.7FM The Pulse) Oct 2022
