Critics Review
Cowboy Song goes further - uncovering how Lynott’s race, country, and complex family life fed into his singular poetry and music– Irish Post
An affectionate and unflinching book on Lynott … It’s the substantive flesh Thomson puts on the bones of Lynott’s personal life, though, that makes COWBOY SONG the truest measure of the man we have thus far - and a must-read for anybody ever smitten by Lizzy’s fatally-flawed romantic. - Mojo
