Malcolm Holcombe

Reviews for To Drink The Rain, Holcombe's 2011 release, recorded at Cedar Creek Studios in Austin, TX.

"The brilliance of Holcombe’s songs, riveting live performances and a troubled early career have made him something of a legend in some circles, but his songs are not geared toward legend-making. They are celebration and testimony as durable and beautiful as the hills where they were written."

- Al Maginnes- Option magazine

"Malcolm Holcombe...stands out like a beacon in an industry full of shiny young things. He is an individual and a one-off and the World is a better place for having him in it. Alan Harrison- No Depression
Amazing, talented, edgy, scary, dangerous, loving, genuine, articulate, kind, unique. If he is ‘down in your woods’ make sure you seek him out – I guarantee you an unforgettable experience."

- Jela Webb- Flyin' Shoes

"‘To Drink The Rain’ may be Holcolmbe’s most accomplished record to date. The album’s simple and honest sound shows just how confident Holcombe is in revealing his unbridled and unrelenting musical vision to the world."

- Americana UK

"Beautiful, if bleak, To Drink the Rain is a triumph. As a performing artist and songwriter, Malcolm Holcombe is an authentic country-blues bard."

- Gerry Quinn- The Irish Examiner

"This is an album populated with subtly catchy choruses that worm their way into the consciousness. Like John Lee Hooker, Holcombe avoids obvious rhymes and wrong-foots the listener. There are unanswered questions aplenty that will draw the curious back for answers time and again. Superior stuff."

- Cate Mitchell- Backroads UK

Come see Malcolm Holcombe live at The Living Room, June 24th at 8pm. Tickets available here.
