Jeff Tweedy can do no wrong, and it helps that he made this album with two other great musicians. It took me a while to get into this one but it's now one of my favorites. - Wilcoduck - (9)

A fine showcase for a collection of songs by artists relatively unknown outside of Texas. Theres a sonic presence to this material that was missing from his previous albums thanks to Rod Picott and David Henry. - Boxcar Trev - (4)

Fine performances by Texas troubador. - Tony Burke - (4)
