AdamG.Aug 6, 2006A completely satisfying feel-good album. I picked up this album because of Gary Louris's work with The Jayhawks, and I was not disappointed. A nice surprise all around. Don't take my word for it - go give it a listen yourself. (Sorry if this review seems so dippy; I just not used to being so blown away by a new album :) ).

TimP.Apr 7, 2009Whilst the songs lack the immediate impact of the Jayhawks this remains a quality set of contemporary country rock.

R.L.Jul 24, 2006Good stuff all around, but the Tweedy/Louris penned "Long Time Ago" really stands out. Tweedy is starting to look like an eagle amongst turkeys. He needs to fly away and go craft his next Wilco masterwork.

The only drawback for fans is this Golden Smog doesn't bear much aural resemblance to the band that made Down by the Old Mainstream and Weird Tales; then again, the bands who make up Golden Smog's membership don't sound much like they did back then, either, so that shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

These songs simply don't stack up to their predecessors.

For a bunch of jokesters, these guys deliver some seriously good music.
