"A Way Through Time’ (2024) by Canadian artist JJ Shiplett, a mini-album containing seven songs in a classic Americana mould – a touch of Jason Isbell here, a smidgen of Kathleen Edwards there. It is a real grower of a record, successive listens paying rich dividends as it becomes clear that each song has its own distinctive feel and personality, and there is a warm attention to detail throughout, with some beautiful yet unostentatious instrumentation. 

  The songwriting is right out of the top drawer. Shiplett’s previous records have contained some gems, but this feels like his most perfectly realised collection yet; intensely personal lyrical studies, with music that supports them so comfortably, it’s like a memory foam soundscape."  ~Americiana UK
