5.0 out of 5 stars SING OUT (USA), 13 Mar 2006
By A Customer
If Johnny Dickinson isn't already known in the States, he will be if this album gets the attention it truly deserves. The Northumbrian native has a thriving career in the UK, receiving kudos from other legendary players such as John Renbourn and Tommy Emmanuel. Aside from Dickinson's reputation at home as a great slide and lap-steel player, the songs move effortlessly from folk to blues to Americana, with each genre as natural to his own style as the next. Tasteful production enhances Dickinson's songwriting, easing the listener into his well constructed, yet easy-going musical world.

English Summer begins with a sampling of Johnny's heralded bottleneck playing in "Into The Deep", immediately establishing a roots vibe, complemented by his confident and resonent vocals. With just a touch of well-placed subtle harmony, this first track immediately begs the question to the first time listener "Who is this guy and where has he been?" From here Dickinson gently moves into "Sacred Tree" and surprisingly his vocals and style echo early Bruce Cockburn. But it was the third song, "Matter Of Time", that truly hooked me in, invoking his country's beautiful signature folk style of the 70's that whispers at Sandy Denny's spirit in the harmony. The song haunted me and kept me returning to the CD over and over. With electric slide in the background, flute (or low whistle) and a hint of percussion, I was sold with its intoxicating and subtle groove.

English Summer continues to delight as it moves through the next nine tracks. The guitar sounds are recorded beautifully - wheter acoustic or slide, the vocals are both intimate and present, and the album celebrates and spans the breadth of Dickinson's talent with this treasure of a release. - KE

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor follow up album, 5 Jul 2005
By A Customer
After buying Castles and Old Kings I was looking forward to this new release. It seems to me that this album has been rushed out to try and build on the success of the previous.The songwriting is unbelievably poor with lyrics that are quite frankly embarassing. Yes it all sounds very nice with mystical eastern bells and percussion but it's all been done before and much better.
