Reviews:
“Joshua Thomas is a remarkable singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitar player, with formidable abilities that feel effortless. He has a well-honed instinct for a great melody and for writing songs that remain true to his unique signal and yet feel timeless. We heard hints of artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Harry Nilsson at times, but mostly heard something that felt deeply original, and which subtly defied comparison. It was an inspiration to be in the room as the songs on The Wings Outside were recorded, and an honor to work with Joshua on his debut full-length album.” Linford Detweiler & Karin Bergquist of Over the Rhine
“Ardent, sincere, and thoughtful… bonafide poetry.” Elise Cady, Americana Highways
“The quality of the writing is consistently wonderful… he has created a near-perfect album.” Tim Martin, AmericanaUK
