Keith Armitage’s music is passionate and achingly beautiful. His gentle songs speak eloquently to dwellers on the fringe, 
both coastal and emotional.
- Doug Mulray, The Basement Radio, Music Max

One of the great albums for 2001. Keith has a unique sound and a unique message in his songs.
- John Elliott, Australian Post Magazine

One of Australia's real singer songwriters and a storyteller who holds his own along side Paul Kelly and Don Walker. A great album, and I actually took a detour to Bangalow to see the places in the song.

The thing I really like about this The Coast Road is that it's a genuine songwriter's album ...Keith's excellent songs are strong enough to stand on their own, and that's exactly how he has approached it - great musicians who provide the setting without ever intruding on the essence of the songs, allowing Keith's distinctive vocals to dominate and tell the stories - and it works a treat.
- Mike Smith, NFS Publicity.

Keith’s heartfelt songs are framed by sun and surf and there is, for an Aussie bloke, a significant degree of heartfelt sincerity. A lot of thought has gone into crafting this album and it deserves a listen.
- Keith Glass, Rhythms Magazine

I love this CD, a magnificent beautifully warm, contemporary Australian country/folk album that captures a cruising, coastal, Combie-van feeling. I play it, through speakers outside the store, to the Cafes across the road and the response I am receiving has been nothing short of tremendous, and at present I can’t keep up the supply.

Review - Capital News

Every now and then an album comes along that grabs your attention and holds you tightly in its groove for longer than you'd expect and THE COAST ROAD is one. It's a feeling that is worth cherishing and something that doesn't happen as often as I'd like in Australian music anymore.
