"Womack shines -- not just a brave man, but a remarkably resilient one." -- Grade: A-
"The results are startling, setting Womack's distinctive voice against stark electro backings and thunderous beats."
"The Cleveland-born singer-songwriter remains in typically pliant voice, though his rasp has grown rougher around the edges, and he still writes good songs."
Billboard (p.72) - "The set is anything but overproduced, sporting a mostly minimalistic feel....Womack's gritty, soulful sound is squarely at the heart of what we hope will turn out to be his comeback album."
4 stars out of 5 -- "The title track pitches Womack's fantastically textured voice over a super-sparse piano, bass and clicking drums, just the hint of strings and acoustic guitar allowed to whisper over it all..."
4 stars out of 5 -- "THE BRAVEST MAN impresses on a steadily rising graph as Womack's soul-soaked voice humanises the machinery in ways rarely heard these days."
