    I was so glad when I found out that Roger released Snapshot and it was so wonderful, then If Life Was Easy came out and it was great. I hope Roger and The Guilty Party keep making lovely, emotional and amazing music.

    Can´t let you get away…an instant classic! You can really be proud to be able to produce music like this! And it must be wonderful to have your daughter sing to it…I mean, this is great work and I have to say that your last two albums are spinning on hot rotation in my car stereo. Thanks for taking the time to come up with another first class album though it probably won`t be played on the radio. Proves it`s good stuff. Bloddy shame.

    Hi Rog, I have just received my copy of “If life was easy”, I LOVE IT. My favourite song is “Moonlight” it is one of the loveliest songs I have every heard. Gillian’s voice is beautiful. Thank you for the music. When are you coming back to Australia? Love always Debbie

    Hi Roger, I’m not usually an emotional person, but your most recent album almost brought me to tears. As much as I loved Deep Purple, “If Life Was Easy” was easily the most moving CD I have ever purchased. Thanks you.

    Great record! This is the kind of music that makes you feel good. A nice mix of rock/blues/folk etc. Music doesn´t always have to be loud. Best tracks: “When life gets to the bone” and “Ghost of your smile”.

    Another wonderful record from Roger Glover. Full of good ideas and truthful lyrics. A really exquisite collection of musical statements. Congratulations to you, Roger! You’ve made my day a a happier one and it’s not the first time your music conveys this to me, it helps me gather my self-confidence. Hats off to you!

    Lovely record, Rog. I thought Snapshot was a masterpiece, you really outdid yourself on the new one. I don’t even care if DP keep making records, as long as you keep making yours like this!
    Take good care.
