DanielLOct 4, 2006A kind of songwriting that just plain doesn't exist anymore. Half 1930's range balladeer, half somber meditation. The bare presentation is a reflection of the album's honesty, and the density of the cello, violin, and backing vocals are like an ocean, upon which you can float, feeling emotionally empowered just by listening. Truly wonderful and unique.

[Anonymous]Aug 27, 2006The evolution of Eric Bachmann as one of the great songwriters in recent years continues... on par with his best work and destined to become a classic! Standout tracks include the staggeringly intense "Man O' War" and the poignant "Carrboro Woman."

With folky guitar picking, lush harmonies and sophisticated melodies, this album is a must-have for all of Bachmann's fans.

As with Icky Mettle and then with Crooked Fingers, Bachmann once again has provided a taut and startling proper debut; his writing feels completely reenergized.
