“Dead two years and hit the street, joined the army with two left feet/ Never wrote or used the phone, Christmas time you drank alone,” Dax Butler sings on “Edge of Nowhere”. Though he’s played in many bands (currently Them Particles) since the 1970s, this is Butler’s debut solo collection. All those seasons (and rehabs – he is now a counsellor) have worn his voice and songwriting into ready-made, pure artefacts. From “Lift Me Up” through to closer “Brakpan Man” – and the nine tracks feel perfectly paced – Dax rolls in a style of folky rock that feels as much Bob Dylan as it does an extension of James Phillips. Welcome back from the edge of nowhere, sir. - Toast Coetzer, Rolling Stone
