  1. Nothing's as timeless as "Blue" or "Waiting for the Sun," but the thrill here is all about those two lonely voices that find each other, in this future of theirs, caught up in that rush of harmony.
  2. The production of Black Crowe Chris Robinson lends grit, but is never intrusive, letting the scruffy melodies and jigsaw-puzzle interlocking of these stellar voices do the heavy lifting.
  3. Although it's produced by Black Crowes bro Chris Robinson, the first studio collaboration in 15 years from the former singer-songwriter team behind the classic Jayhawks lineup is a much more subdued, acoustic affair than the plugged-in alt-country of their former band.
  4. Uncut

    This reunion feels like they've never been away. [Nov 2008, p.102]
  5. Under The Radar

    Ready For The Flood doesn't completely remedy that absence [of alt-country acts], but it is a nice reminder of better times and better tunes for this pair. [Year End 2008, p.83]
