    Adding to his old-time preacher's moan and expressive banjo, Whitmore utilizes a full band for the first time in this collection of songs lamenting corrupt authority in all its various forms. [Winter 2009, p.79]

    Animals is a transition record for William, and even when he's figuring things out, he makes beautiful honest music.
