    He’s a better photographer than he is a musician, but Eggleston’s passion and restless, searching creativity shine through here. And as with his finest images, these deceptively simple pieces can conjure a range of emotions and narratives for more complex and rich than what an initial impression might hold.

    There’s no telling where these well-worn songs will go next. In this sense, the album--as much a kind of private sketchbook as anything--is curiously in keeping with his photographs. Even in music, he rebels against the obvious.
