Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - p.79
4 stars out of 5 -- "[Hayes] mourns a collapsed marriage across two discs that seem to spin in slow motion as Hayes flexes masculine strength through vulnerability."Spin - p.95
"[Hayes] played the prophet of heartbreak, delivering two platters of wistful covers wrapped in symphonic strings..."Uncut
3 stars out of 5 -- "What he brought to the '70s party, apart from sheer chutzpah...was sonic nous, the ability to play an entire studio and to integrate technical innovations like fuzztone and wah-wah guitars."Living Blues - p.62
"BLACK MOSES is an emotionally lush set....BLACK MOSES is probably most closely associated with its lead single, Haye's stirring version of the Jackson 5's 'Never Can Say Goodbye'..."Pitchfork (Website) - "[I]t was a massively ambitious statement album, a collection of covers and originals that documented the collapse of Hayes' marriage. It was an enormous success..."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.94
5 stars out of 5 -- "Hayes' most heartbreakingly intimate, emotionally sincere and brave release."Clash (Magazine) (p.112) - "This album's spiraling grooves and lush sonic landscapes have inspired everyone from hip hop producers to Portishead..."
