His lyrics lack the vivid character studies of old, but there is still plenty of cleverness hidden in Cinnamon’s prosaic songwriting

Sadly the last couple of songs on ‘The Bonny’ disappointingly tail off and almost feel tagged on. Thankfully there’s more than enough on here to help us dream of better times ahead.

So after a certified Gold-selling album Erratic Cinematic came in the UK scene in 2017, their was a sudden cult following since last year, so of course Gerry will seize that opportunity and produce The Bonny.

I get the feeling that no matter how much you dislike Gerry Cinnamon’s work, it has nothing on the disdain that other Scottish folks like myself have for it. The Bonny isn’t as bad as Erratic Cinematic. It’s also no less grating, every use of reverb breaking an unwritten agreement of the Geneva convention.
Instrumentally it’s just more of the same. Unremarkable folk-pop, and lyrically it’s just autopilot chimings. “You know it could be a canter if you were ... read more
