"Josh Ritter fell in love and it shows on this album. His songs are weighty and elegiac and full of strength of emotion. Mad props to Folk Bloodbath, where Delia and Stagger Lee meet." - AnnMT

"Doesn't do rock like his father Steve Earle, but does just about everything else that "Americana" could include: country/folk/blues/rockabilly/ragtime. And even Philly soul and gospel, thanks to the influence and help of former Drive-By Trucker Jason Isbell. Low key, short (30 minutes), but really amazing in its grasp of roots music." - JasonT
"Signs of songwriting genius here. Hope he can stay clean long enough to bring us more." - AnnMT

"Sound collage. Found words and texts. Great orchestration. More than absurdity or noise -- there are great stories filled with ambiguity in these songs. Demands to be listened to again and again." - JC Hackett

"More Ryan Bingham-centric music, but he anchors a collection of songs that includes Townes Van Zandt, Buck Owens, Lightning Hopkins, Waylon Jennings and even "The Dude" himself. The first movie soundtrack I've gotten in years." - JasonT
"Good mix of old alt-country songs and new ones. These are the songs you find yourself humming three days later." - AnnMT

"Zooey Deschanel is just too cute dancing around on stage with her tambourine! This album makes me want to sit on the porch swing in the sunshine and sip lemonade (well lemonade with vodka, that is)." - Abbie

"Funky, fresh, funny, and genre bending." - JC Hackett
"Sci-fi R&B with a Metroplis-inspired cover and its own dance, "The Tightrope." Can't go wrong here." - Jeremy
"I love a good concept album. Can't decide if I like or love this one, but I keep listening to it, so I guess that's something." - AnnMT

I really need to give Janelle Monae a spin. She seems to be one of the most interesting voices in soul music these days.
