I’ve been listening to Tim’s voice and mandolin playing on recordings for so many years, and when they came through my headphones for the first time when we sat down to track this one, it was a really memorable moment. Tim put his own melody to this old Thomas Moore song from the early 1800’s and was generous enough to share it for the album.

I don't listen to much country music, so I don't really know where this one lands, but I find it has some pretty good tunes and definitively good musicianship. Some of the songs mights soound a bit cheesy, but I enjoy this album overall nonetheless. The tunes which are more sounding like ballads get my preference, such as Northern Babe, and North Country Blues. Thibaut Devigne

I didn't think i could love an album more than i loved Home, along comes Renewal and i'm absolutely blown away. This album is a fantastic journey from start to finish. I'll finally be able to see Billy live in a couple of months and i'm sure it will be the show of a lifetime. SEGADEATH
