"A truly great songwriter"
Kashmir Klub, London
"It is a comfort there are songs like that on ''Last Bus Home''...with a beautiful, light voiced singer... that leads us around about the planets rambling detours, rather than the bright, hectic freeways...where we dream the time away, lazing with Brett Perkins, who sees both the foolishness of the world, and the clouds movement and the sunbeams with laid back calmness in his vocal chords and pleasant acoustic guitar..." Erik Jensen/Politiken (DK)
