    Now 74 and short half a lung, he's not making the best music of his life, just the best albums.

    Working In Tennessee resonates with much of the cool, complicated clarity of his very best work. [Nov 2011, p.85]

    If this intermittently pleasant but insignificant album has a purpose, it's to prove that the 74-year-old country legend can still do it like clockwork.
