Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 4/17/97, p.78

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...Son Volt rocking at their most forlorn....Farrar emits a deep, emotive country drawl like a slurring heartland Mick Jagger....has few brutally loud moments. The album strives for a more intimate back-porch vibe instead..."

Q - 9/00, p.135

Included in Q's "Best Alt.Country Albums Of All Time" - "...A truly evocative set of lost ballads..."

Musician - 6/97, p.83

"...With one scuffed boot planted firmly in folk and country traditions and the other plunked down on the smarter side of rock & roll, Farrar tends to his muses with more honesty and respect than your average electro-angst wranglers and punk-poppers..."

NME (Magazine) - 8/9/97, p.43

"...Son Volt's second offering nestles somewhere between country blues and the kind of authentic American bar-band rock Jason And The Scorchers were celebrated for in the mid-'80s....it's conservative Southern Gothic all round..."
