    There’s not a weak track in the dozen making this another candidate for blues release of the year from brothers who almost never got to play another note together. Making up for lost time never sounded so good.

    If Dave and Phil Alvin want to crank out an album like Lost Time every year until the sun finally sets on them, no one who loves blues and roots music would have any room to complain.

    Whether the brothers suggestively croon about love or chastely celebrate the afterlife, play down and dirty or cleanly pick out the notes, they manage to joyfully make up for the missing years.

    The Alvins' follow-up [to Common Ground] is highly expansive in a focused way. [Oct 2015, p.69]

    Picking up from last year’s Big Bill Broonzy tribute Common Ground, here the Alvins run riot on another covers set.

    Phil's voice is fierce, Dave is warm and the band masterly. [Oct 2015, p.93]

    An eccentric take on Please, Please, Please is maybe surplus to requirements, but the rest is lean and lithe.

    Dave and Phil both play guitar and sing, and are on driving, cheerfully gutsy form.
