The Guardian

Emerald Palace is the second studio album by the English multi-instrumentalist Duke Garwood. It was released by Butterfly Recordings on March 27, 2007.

Critical reception

The Guardian wrote that "it's like traditional country blues subjected to a barrage of 21st-century urban noise, with something of the guitar-improv abstractions of the late, great Derek Bailey thrown in." Drowned in Sound called the album "a bit of a shambles with fleeting moments of real joy."
