    That this album was ever released is proof positive that there is no God.

    her voice annoys me. wow, shes 70 and jack white was involved so it must be cool. haha. i wish people would form there own opinions and not listen to what spin, rolling stones, or pitchfork have to say...there are at least 50 albums that have come out so far this year that are better than this one. word. but to each hisorher own.

    Tries desperately to be hip and modern--and succeeds. Just about as well as your grandmother.

    It’s not as remarkable a transformation as the one Rick Rubin performed on Johnny Cash, but this is a fine collection and as pleasurable a listen as it undoubtedly was to record.

    The fact that a woman of Lynn's tenure can slide so easily into what is essentially an alt-country environment without losing any of her down-home authenticity simply underscores her versatility and timelessness.

    White’s arrangements and production are simple and effective, clear without gloss.
