"Fire and the Guns' recalls something from the early years of Gordon Lightfoot and should be seen primarily as a sincere compliment for this excellent story teller".

"He has released an excellent record again, jam packed with songs with one eye on what is and what is to come, and the other to what is already over. Particularly warm blooded songs delivered with an equally hot blooded voice".

"McHale stands out for miles in the inexhaustible line of competors for the favor of the listeners".
Max A. Achatz
Country Jukebox
Munich, Germany

"Rob McHale’s newest record ‘Fields’ is composed of relaxing songs that are meant to make you feel good. The stories which are told in the ten tracks are socially inspired and some are based on historical events. They aim to make the listeners think carefully about todays’ world and how they can contribute to the achievement of a better society.”

"Rob is old school folk singer, his voice a guiding beam on Fields, his recent release - McHale wears the skins of his characters; his stories allow for the familiar to be felt as an old friend and the unknown to become family by the end of his song".

"Rob McHale's rich mellifluous vocals and his guitar playing that ripples out like a flowing stream are at the core of an album that leans towards the folky end of Americana. The fine title track is a carefully observed story of one of countless American small towns in terminal decline once their factory has moved south of the border."

"Sitting somewhere between restrained despair and resignation it's a tight little song, not a word out of place."

"Well deserved, too, that he's been compared to both Neil Young, JJ Cale and a bunch of other of the greats of his generation. For this is the feeling you get when ageless right folk/americana is served."

"Contemporary Songsmith who has the unique ability to combine thoughtful salt of the earth lyrics with intriguing melodies and complex rhythmic harmonies on acoustic guitar. Great Stuff!"
