“Ad Vanderveen’s reflective musings give his songs a weary charm that’s all but irresistible, one reason his work makes him the absolute epitome of an accomplished acoustic bard armed with a guitar, a melodious voice and a sizable stash of songs. Happily then, his lovely new album Worlds Within stays true to that template, a sensitive yet stirring folk-infused set of songs that’s rich in sumptuous melodies and astute observations. Ad is exceptional as always, and these sublime soundscapes offer further reason why.”Lee Zimmerman, staff writer No Depression.
