MOJO: March 2001 by Colin Irwin.
"A Celtic music pioneer before the term was invented, returns with a mystical album, but Jake Walton's spiritualism is firmly rooted in the values of the folk singer-songwriter, and when he cranks his hurdy gurdy into action
you have to sit up and pay attention".

FOLKING.COM
"Celtic myth and legend oozes from his latest CD 'EMAIN' - The unknown land' Add the very brilliant Eric Liorzou on guitar and cittern, and you have all the ingredients
to make the finest 'Celtic pudding' you've ever tasted.".....

Other Reviews Of Emain

TIME OUT: Jan 2001
"His stunning guitar and hurdy gurdy playing are in a class all of their own. His song writing is of a very high standard and originals like 'PLAIN OF SILVER' and the adapted John Masefield poem 'THE WEST WIND' are not exceptions! But the rule".....

FOLK NORTHWEST
"Songs such as 'THE WEST WIND' and the title track, shimmer like a distant heat wave. All told, this is a fascinating and endearing release. With guests like Mike O'Connor on fiddle, Jez Lowe (harmony vocals) all added to Jakes guitar and effective although never over used hurdy gurdy, results in a haunting, filmic, almost trance like quality at times. Dazzling stuff! 'Emain', makes for music of the lasting kind."
