FilazaferaApr 20, 2006I am a fan, first of all. This record did not grab me right away like some of the others, but after a few listens I think it is as good as anything they have ever done. Everything they do is gold. I listen to a lot of different bands and I think the Truckers are the best band on the planet right now. See them live and you will be a beliver.

LawrenxcePAug 7, 2006Still the best and most solid honest country-rock band around..."world of hurt" is one of their very best and most heartbreaking tunes.

BartWApr 19, 2006I dig the sound, influenced by the stones and the replacements. Layin down the homage!!! This is a succinct and spontaneous album. Not as heavy, but that's alright!

BaronLApr 20, 2006The Southern mythology may be replaced by personal struggles and desires but the sound is still as hot as Georgia asphalt.

AndrewDApr 23, 2006Great album! Only reason I am not giving it a 10 is becasue I would reserve that rating for The Dirty South and Decoration Day. If you love the truckers, this album wont dissapoint.

stetsonkJun 28, 2006After 10 years and 2 absolutely belting albums - in SRO and Dirty South - the Truckers were busting to burst into the mainstream with this record. Like one of the loser jocks populating their best tunes, they blew it. It almost feels deliberate.

UncutA Blessing... is perhaps a more personal and introspective record than usual. But truly there's still a lot to marvel at. [Apr 2006, p.112]

All in all, this is a calmer Truckers set, less ragged and more polished.

BlenderThe barn-burners are still grimy with brawling guitar, but more than ever shot through with delicate light... and the pithy ballads are crisp as cold beer. [May 2006, p.108]
