Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

For some the storm never appears, they sit waiting for a sign of thunder, of the spark of lightning to reach out to the Earth, before they start to write, to create, or even seek shelter. The storm from within, the gathering of words that play in the mind, it is almost as if the swell of distant tidal storm is racing down through the mind and to the fingers, that 13 Rivers have found a way to merge, to burst open the inventive, original mind and release an abundance of near-perfection out into the world. In folk legend Richard Thompson, it takes more than a mile wide damn to stop the flood of 13 Rivers from achieving his goal.
