  1. While not as sonically ambitious as Farrar's first foray away from Son Volt, Sebastopol, there is a simple and stark grace to these songs.
  2. Once again, Jay Farrar has produced an album that's as stark and dreary -- and beautiful -- as the Midwest in winter.
  3. Farrar's strongest showing since the first Son Volt album.
