    Definitely the best release from Alison. It is an excellent CD with 4 or 5 songs that can be nominated for awards

    Have heard it once. What a sound... Perfect. You can say, "love at first listen". It's excellent and beautifully made.

    This is one of her best. I love the traditional bluegrass along with the middle of the road. She and Union Station are true artists. So many pop so called artists are such a joke compared to them.

    This album is AWESOME! If you are remotely an AKUS or Bluegrass fan - you will love it. It has some really unique songs.

    Well worth the 3 year wait. Great mix of bluegrass and acoustic music by some of the finest folks around. Some critics may complain that this album has a "Slick, polished" sound. Hmmm.... Maybe that's why it's called a studio album? Excellent job AKUS!!! Can't wait to see you on the tour when you get out west.

    The best of all AKUS albums, with more of the melancholy and beautiful songs only glimpsed at in So Long So Wrong, and handled clumsily in New Favourite, this time with startling and original lyrics, especially in the Gillian Welch penned Wouldn't be So Bad. However, Jerry Douglas' superb Unionhouse Hoedown and the lead single Restless show a refusal to back down from their Bluegrass roots that make them so popular. Beautiful, ironic, and almost perfect down to the last note. Expand

    Tends to drift in one and out the other at times. [Jan 2005, p.102]
  2. The results are accomplished, but the yearning twang of the porch is never far away. [Jan 2005, p.127]

    One of the finest Americana albums of 2004. [Jan 2005, p.128]
