In its combination of country, soul, percussive folk and piano-led balladeering, Let Love Rule reminds me of no one so much as Nick Cave (it's also only one word away from a Nick Cave album). But it's its own thing too, twined around Roach's characterful voice - he's one of those singers you believe when listening to - and songs of love of different kinds, at least some of them being love of country and land. There are some beautiful songs here.
