Another masterful collection of lyrically dense truth bathed in skilful instrumental surprises. The genre that is Steve Bell never ceases to provoke and inspire.   —  Diane Gibbs

So much could be written about Where the Good Way Lies, Steve Bell’s 20th album. It is a wonderful gathering of songs that draw from the well of life’s difficulties to quench the thirst we all have for honest, rooted hope. Beauty and goodness run throughout the songs as guides that point to the Truth of where the good way lies. Yes, the trip on this good way continues to be arduous, but Steve reassures us that the pilgrim has a companion on the journey and a reason for the task. Steve does more than speak of beauty and goodness and love: he models it in this album in his incredible musicianship, his lyrics and his gentle encouragement to live out our vocation as bearers of the Divine. There is much here to delight, reassure and to instruct. Follow the paths Steve has walked faithfully as an artist for almost three decades and you will be rewarded with great music and greater joys.

First impressions (the i’s tell it): Imaginative, inventive and intelligent. Illustrative of Steve Bell’s artistic sensibilities. Indicative of the faith, hope and love that permeates his work. Illuminates his ever creating anew, not resting on past achievements.
— Michael Dalton, The Phantom Tollbooth
