At last, everything Escovedo does well is represented on a single disc.
-
An album full of vitality that is smart and intelligent without being boring. More importantly, however, it is simply incredible.
-
Inspiring and masterful.
-
Subtract [a few tracks] and Los Lobos could've made this album if they, too, got John Cale to produce. That's a compliment to all involved.
-
As is often the case with Escovedo, a certain necessary edge is missing.
-
Rolling StoneA resonant, if occasionally dour, mix of gritty, tuneful rockers and restrained, spectral balladry that evokes Leonard Cohen fronting Crazy Horse. [4 May 2006, p.56]
-
Most of the time, it's run-of-the mill soft rock.
