===================================================================

"I always thought Bill Bourne should have starred with Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood in ''The Unforgiven.'' He''s a goddamn movie star, I''d say, with that black top hat and card shark face.

More importantly, he is a ''shining light'' in the ''North American'' Folk Roots scene. He sings, plays guitar and writes with deep soul, and on the current musical landscape these talents constitute a revolutionary act of ART.

Listen to Bill Bourne; get Religion, brother and sister. This is the real thing".
