    With loads of acoustic guitars and the Jayhawks' winsome country harmonies, this album looks back to the sound of Crosby, Stills & Nash.

    Folk-rock laced with banjos, accordions, and pedal steel, ''Music'' is the roots move one suspects fans have wanted for years, its classic rock flavor echoing the Byrds, CSNY, and Poco.
  3. Stylus Magazine

    The problem with this kind of record is not that it’s hard to find fault with, but that it’s hard to get excited about.
