"Malcolm Holcombe's album "A Hundred Lies" is one of the most memorable recordings I've ever heard.His unique songs have a way of evading classification,but two fellow singer/songwriters I keep coming up with are Charley Patton & David Olney.He definitely has Olney's flair for creating a poetic/aural landscape in his lyrics.As for his actual muscianship,his unique phrasing,I really can't think of anyone that's struck me so since I first heard Charley Patton.And above & beyond even all this,is his very old,knowing soul that just can't help seeping out of his guitar & his voice.Closest comparison I can come up with would be Townes Van Zandt. Do yourselves a favor & purchase this album.I can't even imagine someone not being entirely satisfied with it.Thank God for Malcolm Holcombe!"

Heartfelt Soul Intensity....Absolute!

"This c.d. is pure heart&soul, passionate poetry of depth. I treasure Malcom Holcombe as a rare gift of light streaming through his lyrics and strings. This is as real as you get. No B.S. here! It is true expression and not simply for pleasin' the public in general. This is a must have and if you get a chance to see him perform...don't miss it, but don't expect some fancy dude trying to impress you with clothes and glamour, because that ain't what he's about. The Light is his clothing and his music penetrates ones heart to the core.True poetry in motion! Give us some more Malcom and don't change for no one! I Love You."

Malcolm Holcombe astonishes

"Holcombe is a gravel-voiced poet -- a mix of Tom Waits and Townes Van Zandt, yet no one can say he's an imitation. Holcombe is the real deal. Guaranteed to astonish. Any one who discovers his music is indeed blessed."
