  • Summary: The California-born musician's first album on the Warner Bros. label features Grinderman, Ruby Turner, and KT Tunstall as guests.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 8
  2. Negative: 1 out of 8
  1. Hobo Journeyman enlists the help of Nick Cave, KT Tunstall and Ruby Turner to deliver winning album.
  2. 80
    His whip-smart three-string guitar licks still take centre stage and his banter sizzles with the personality and charm that have won him so many new admirers. [Oct 2008, p.112]
  3. The album's sole significant guest, Nick Cave, emerges on the stalking 'Just Like A King,' but elsewhere there's sadly no real sign of the poetic edge that he or the pick of the earlier troubadours can produce.
  4. Is this the best we can do? Desperate-to-be-authentic, carbohydrate-stodgy white blues, played by an elderly man pretending to be a tramp? Really, you deserve better.
