    Picking out parts is really beside the point – the album works as a restless, searching, gorgeous whole. Morris and his band have never been better.

    Fans of Will Oldham will find succour in Morris’ quivering, occasionally out-of-tune croon, which works best in the contemplations of Salvation (“Salvation has a hold / On the mind that is not bold”), and when the lyrics suggest faltering on Slow Rush (“looking for shortcuts, hopping the lakes”).

    Even as the record is steeped in the long history of British folk music, that balance of the tactile and the spiritual anchors these songs in the present moment.

    Straddling past and present, this is Red River Dialect's most sunny and easygoing record to date. [Nov 2019, p.30]

    Abundance Welcoming Ghosts is, in other words, not always an easy journey, but its desire to thoughtfully explore the nooks and crannies of the land and the heart do make it worth the effort.

    Neither as endearingly fragile nor as transcendently healing as his previous two volumes, Abundance is nonetheless a fulfilling and soulful work, worthy of the Red River Dialect canon.

    Isn't quite a match for last year's career-topping Broken Stay Open Sky. [Nov 2019, p.86]
