“Sammy Volkov stands out as a rare figure in today's music scene. His crystalline voice reigns supreme, with its exquisite sensitivity that's capable of moving us deeply. The purity of his voice and the range of emotions he conveys are enough to captivate any audience.”
-Dirty Rock Magazine (Spain)
“The most immediately striking thing is not just the strength but also the vulnerability of Volkov's voice; throughout Songs from the Goodbye Garden, it swells and rises as he croons beautifully in a way that’s seldom heard today, think Roy Orbison crossed with James Taylor. Songs from the Goodbye Garden is an album that’s full of precious gems; a rich and valuable listen for everyone.”
