    Highway Butterfly is remarkable because there isn't a weak song or performance included.
  2. 90
    Each piece is exquisitely crafted to bring out the best in them and you get the sense that Casal would have approved.

    Artists from Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Steve Earle, to J Mascis and Aaron Lee Tasjan, whose "Travelling After Dark" is a strong cut - interpret Casal's lifetime of work, fittingly as radio staples. [Feb 2022, p.37]
