    I have never been on a slow boat going to China but if I were I would listen to this album on repeat until I got there. Steve Gunn is simply a master of his trade and should be housed in everyones music collection.

    Overall this album is sublime, a genuine highlight of 2014.

    Steve Gunn continues his drift from the avant-garde world into popular music with another folk-tinged, guitar-worshiping set of tunes here, blending the long and varied history of hypnotic guitar into a perfectly pensive collection.

    This is the most elaborately arranged thing Gunn has ever done, jammed full of understated yet excellent guitar. [Oct 2014, p.54]

    The eight songs are all beautifully crafted, integrating elements of folk, blues and country/rock.... A new American classic. [No. 115, p.55]
