The reviews for "table for one." so far:
"I want to listen again but the table for one track blew me away..."
"I had to stop after this song to call you and tell you...WOW!"
"Powerful, emotional, vulnerable, and courageous."
"...a calling card for you and who you are."
"important, raw personal and emotional set of music...Nothing better than using music for healing."
"Myke Hutchings has created a really beautiful and deeply emotional acoustic album about his experiences with loss. It's not an easy listen, but it's a very worthwhile one. If you listen to one track, check out 'passing me by'...but, the album stands in a way that albums rarely do of late, as a cohesive whole with teary peaks. Perfect listen for a grey day...."
"This album made my day. I can't explain the amount of raw emotion that comes through these songs. The subtle flavours of his musical inspirations are there but do not take away from the songs. Just knowing the place these songs originated from makes them so much more powerful."
"It is rich music that gets [a person] started. Light and fluffy doesn't cut it. Your music gets me thinking."
"I've listened to your album twice now. Is "beautifully gutted" a good description of a song writer's work? "
"A masterpiece! Well done!"
"Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your being. I have been enjoying listening and trancing with it...."
"The one song that is helping me is moving on...Thank you for that song, I hope are more like that..."
"table for one. is unlike anything I've heard before and I have eclectic taste. It's good music and I enjoy it already."
"[song title] scares me...it sounds like the primal scream of a man who has been torn apart, how it is followed by such beauty and resolve after is amazing!"
"the music you've created is unlike any other singer-songwriter I've heard before. Your arrangements go beyond standard guitar riffs and chords."
"Table For One plays in the background; and have played it several times. I feel anger, beauty and resolve in the lyrics."
"Table for One has been in my car CD slot and I play it often. Loving the diversity and raw emotion. [Myke's] talent shines!"
