What's surprising is that his rough rumble of a voice is so suited to restraint." '' The Age'' said "Perkins' smoky, cracked voice is at its best out in front... but generally it serves as an accompaniment to the lush instrumentation, particularly Charlie Owen's dobro, lap steel and shimmering keyboards, and is complemented by Silbersher's falsetto backing vocals.
