    Very non intrusive listening experience. The vocals are melancholic but not in a depressive way. It is a good album for listening while working or as background for dinner. There are lots of such albums and artists, and you may take any for this purpose, but this could be on top of the list.

    Great songwriting, and the musicianship is top notch. I look forward to seeing what is in store for Rayland. It seems like he's best is in front of him.

    Atmospheric, heart-rendering and infused with myriad old souls, Imaginary Man is a richly dramatic, poignant singer-songwriter opus. [Sep 2015, p.71]

    All in all, Imaginary Man is a bit like an early afternoon festival set: a perfectly pleasant, though ultimately forgettable, prelude to something better best enjoyed while lubricating for the headliners with beer.

    Imaginary Man presents Baxter and his material in a manner that's vividly passionate and a little swampy while avoiding cliches as he offers these sketches on life and love in the American South; it's a big step forward for Baxter, and will hopefully help him gain the audience he deserves.
