    A superb, luscious, inventive, thoroughly beautiful album that just keeps getting better with every listen. Quite possibly a perfect record.

    Piled high with elegant strings, horns, and vibraphone, these 10 tracks mark a new sophistication for this talented group.

    The most fully realised Lambchop record, the most perfect blend yet of their alt country roots and their obsession with soul.

    "Nixon," Lambchop's fifth solo LP, does have its moments, some of them truly glowing. But much of the rest of the album turns toward precious self-indulgence.
