    Subtle acoustic bass, quiet drums and occasional strings and piano accents support his strummed acoustic guitar, leaving his quiet, expressive singing at center stage. [No. 138, p.61]

    While some of those who got on board Team Temple with Good Mood Fool may be put off by the more rustic turn, many longtime fans will find A Hand Through the Cellar Door to be his most mesmerizing yet.

    It may be a bit platitudinous, but Temple's delicate voice and songwriting make it an enjoyable listening experience.
