"Luscious and verdant as the Emerald Isle from which it draws inspiration and was given birth. ...he's one of our finest songpoets...if not the best...no doubt there. At the get go 'The Rocks Of Ireland' is the foundation ... and on this rock Clarke has built a tumultous masterpiece." Rosie Flores' vocal on 'Back to The Well' fits like a glove but nothing prepares you for the intensity injected by her into Clarke's words about those who dream of a homeland across the sea that they'll probably never see again in 'American lipstick'
Arthur Wood, Kerrville Kronicle

'The Heart Sings' is mostly dominated by Clarke's continuing fascination with the West of Ireland - from where his family came. ...his own lyrical vision is something to behold ... Terry Clarke is back in the limelight and, on this evidence, deservedly so.
Country Music International

"... he's made something of a career of winning the admiration of Texans he's played with. Among his fans are Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, Jesse Taylor, with whom he cut 'Rhythm Oil' and Rosie Flores who used his 'Poor Girls Town' on her last album (Rockabilly Filly) and here sings duet on 'American Lipstick' and harmony on 'Back To The Well'. ...when you hear the songs you'll understand why Butch Hancock fans and Hancock himself rate him so highly.
Music City Texas

Terry Clarke's music is his very heart and soul, influenced by his Irish and English background and coloured by his love for the American South. When they were on tour Bruce Channel and Gene Vincent visited his town ... they left their impression on Terry ... listen to each individual song tell it's tale.
Country Music Round Up

The harsh but fresh winds of Ireland blow through this release ... There are shades of Chris Isaak's 'Blue Hotel', Robbie Robertson's 'Somewhere Down The Crazy River' and even The Pogues' 'Fairy Tale Of New York' here ...
