  1. Los Angeles Times

    There's a sense of timelessness rooted in rural America, along with a stripped-down musical ambience, that makes this a worthy companion to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' "Raising Sand," for which Buddy was part of their touring band.
  2. Paste Magazine
    84
    At the edges of the record's most grey-cloud moments is the iridescent glimmer of vocal harmony, which may not be too far from human harmony.
  3. The Guardian
    60
    This is the new Nashville at its best: a no-nonsense, gently gutsy and agreeably freewheeling set, recorded in their home studio with no slick production work to take the rough edges off their songs.
