"I’m
gonna say it now . . . Not Forgotten" is Malcolm Holcombe at
his very best, which, considering his back catalogue, is sayin’
a whole helluva lot. In spite of its title, this is a work to be remembered,
to be listened to time and time again . . ." "The rare songwriter whose lyrics work as poetry as well
as they do as songs, Holcombe uses words to paint images that are
often abstract but always connect on an emotional level." "A musical landscape where
all themes lead to home...Not Forgotten is glorious in its sublime
earthiness."
-Shaun Harvey "Americana Roots"
**************
"His
rich rough voice rides roughshod over the sophistication and brings
out the best in him. This record is like a chunk of wood in a pile
of plastic."
-David Cowling "Americana UK"
**************
Jack Silverman- Nashville Scene
Paige LaGrone Babcock- Pure Music
"..a driving a mix of blues, country, folk
and Smoky Mountain soul that surrounds you and stays on your skin like
wood smoke. As always, Holcombe leaves the term "singer-songwriter"
woefully wanting."
Rick Cornell "The Independent Weekly"
**************
"It's that old school blues feel, coupled with poetic images of
blue-collar life, that gives Holcombe's music so much power and has
earned him such high praise...writing songs that feel as real as small-town
newspaper stories and as timeless as lullabies."
Paul Kingsbury- American Songwriter

Jim Farber
New York Daily News
"The
album is acoustic...the purest expression of this artist's gift imaginable.
Nothing else is needed to convey the layers of Carolina grit in his
voice and soul, or the intermingled dark and light in his lyrics.
It's that small cool hit of redemption inside the burning houses that
are his songs that makes Holcombe so compelling, both as a writer
and performer."
Judith Edelman
PureMusic
Jack Silverman- Nashville Scene
"Some singers have an old soul, but Malcolm Holcombe's has always
felt downright primordial. Across the ages, he has developed a rugged
state of grace that's all his own. Such gifted players as Greg Leisz,
Jerry Scheff and Stuart Duncan appeared on his last two records, but
decorating Holcombe's sinewy, fiercely spirited music is putting a bandana
on a bulldog."I Never Heard You Knockin' " is just voice and
guitar, and it showcases Holcombe at his best."

has mastered his craft so well that he is able to tap almost unconsciously

"...produce[r]
Steven Soles...
provides an intense and fertile
field of sound behind Holcombe' s gruff voice and lonely guitar. One
of the best folk discs of the year."
-No Depression
"4
stars...haunted country, acoustic blues and rugged folk all meet [here]....
Whispers of Guy Clark, Fred Eaglesmith, Bill Morrisey, and John Prine
all quietly echo in Holcombe's old-soul sound..."
-RollingStone
"..Holcombe's
brilliant insurgent country debut is accentuated by his craggy, weathered
vocal style.
Highly recommended".
