Cruel River gets 3 stars in the latest Mojo. "On vacation from Show of Hands, Knightley turns in a low-key solo album and gets a few things off his chest. He waves Tony Blair into the sunset with two especially savage songs, Crooked man'07 and Poppy Day; re-interprets one of SoH's most popular songs as a French waltz, covers Dire Strait's Romeo & Juliet and delivers tales of villainy, deceit and disaster from the West Country." When I listened to the CD, I thought it was more like waving two particularly savage fingers to TB. That is in the "August" Mojo with The Police on the front cover and Ryan Adams on the back. Anyone else here had a listen yet?
