MagnetMar 12, 2015Oddly familiar and familiarly odd, Season Hire is a challenging and progressive counterpoint to staid and fallow takes on folk music that have been crapping the airwaves--and our news feeds--in recent years. [No. 118, p.61]
-
Feb 27, 2015It is a beautiful collaboration, a wonderful platform for both the Pickers and Gunn to flex their muscles.
-
Feb 25, 2015With enough panache to warrant a full-length release, Seasonal Hire is an all-too brief look into four musicians' quest to push their music further.

The WireMar 11, 2015This collaboration feels like his most companionable, as he flexes and grouses through many moods, always in the service of the song. [Mar 2015, p.47]

Dec 22, 2015Despite the relaxed, very informal nature of the playing, some deep music gets made here. While guitar freaks may have hoped for more guitar from Gunn, he's everywhere even when he's not running the show. Seasonal Hire is excellent country and Eastern.
