“In a genre where players often seem to rush to mysticism, Nelson plays here as if he has all the time in the world to leave his mark." -David Fricke, Rolling Stone
“Kinloch Nelson’s terrific recent record release, Partly on Time, comes to us via the ever-reliable Tompkins Square label. Rescued from age-old tapes, the slightly lo-fi sound here is deliciously warm and stony, the perfect setting for Nelson’s laid-back instrumental compositions. Nelson is an original; he rambles but never meanders, wanders but never gets lost. A total gem, well worth your time.” -Tyler Wilcox, aquariumdrunkard.com
