    This album of covers brims with intensely organic and engaging moments, breathing new life into songs that could've just hung out like tired old windbags.
  2. BBC Music
    80
    The sessions don't sound patchy or cobbled together. There's a unity in terms of performing equality, coupled with an unbeatable repertoire.
  3. Slant Magazine

    Mean Old Man may be a fundamentally lazy album, but it works in the right places, making sharp choices and offering a mostly agreeable experience.
