Very good to excellent at times, but not consistently good, December 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Wait Till The Morning (Audio CD)
I agree with the earlier reviewer who said the guitar solo on Island of Jewels is great. I think I would go so far as to say it is THE best guitar solo I know of. Along with Island Of Jewels, At A Turtle's Pace and All Along The Watchtower are also very good, but I feel that a number of the other tracks are weak. I have several of their vinyl EPs, and I'm glad that the songs I liked best (those mentioned above) are included on the CD. I learned of Winter Hours around the same time I learned of O Positive, and I feel they are somewhat similar -- some very good songs, but not very consistent in quality (O Positive was perhaps more consistently good, but they still can't touch Island Of Jewels' guitar solo!).

A LOST JEWEL, October 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Wait Till The Morning (Audio CD)
This of course is actually 2 of their original albums on one cd.
Lush and gorgeous from the lyrical content to the music itself
to the mood of this recording -- I was greatly moved when I first
bought it back in the 80s and am still moved by it all these years later. Truly one of the most underrated bands of their era, as well as any era, Winter Hours touched those who wanted to listen, wanted to hear what "popular" music was capale of being, doing. I used to think it was unfortunate Winter Hours never got the audience due them, but now I am almost thankful, as it has become nearly a private moment, a warm secret that is mine, just mine. I don't know what the guys are doing these
days, if they remained in the music scene or not, but for a little while, in my impressionable early twenties, they give me
a reason to believe in all things beautiful. Thank you, guys.

Amazing Band, Amazing Album, June 8, 2000
This review is from: Wait Till The Morning (Audio CD)
Winter Hours is one of my favorite bands, even 10 years aftertheir breakup. This is definitely one of their best works. It's ashame that the rest of their amazing catalogue is not in print! Bob Perry has continued as a solo artist and his work is really great.
