Album reviews
“An outstanding album all round” - Bless The Rains awarded one of Folk London Magazine’s “Albums of 2024”
“This album just has everything going for it. Den is a brilliant songwriter, truly master of the air-punching sentiment couched in keen rhyme and the sharply contoured, apposite turn of phrase. As a singer, he's blessed with an enviable vocal range which he knows how to use, while he's also an unfailingly intelligent musical arranger and a commendably versatile instrumentalist. Bless The Rains sure does him proud” - FATEA Magazine
“I've written a lot of record reviews over the last 40 or so years, and in all likelihood this will be the last one, but I've never said this before. Den Miller's music makes the world a better place” - Alan Rose’s CD review in Tykes Stirrings Magazine
“Once again Den has surpassed himself: lyrically and musically this is an amazing album, full of intelligent and thought provoking themes, as has become his trademark” - Topic Folk Club
“Bless The Rains is very easy to listen to but ... also provides much food for thought....You really should be out buying this album” - Editor review, Folking.com
“Opening track Too Many Choices is typical of Den’s skill at making political points with great humour, not to mention his ability to cram as many words as possible into a verse” - Tony Gillam (Passengers In Time blog / Songlines)
