Aug 20, 2021‘The Ballad of Dood & Juanita’ is not just a faithful, fun celebration of a traditional sound, but that of a traditional form, too.

MojoAug 20, 2021The only unsatisfactory element of The Ballad of Dood & Juanita is that it's too short. [Oct 2021, p.92]
-
UncutAug 25, 2021Brilliantly realised. [Oct 2021, p.31]

Aug 20, 2021Dood and Juanita works so well because Simpson sounds comfortable within this form and just beyond it.
-
Aug 26, 2021Its brevity means that The Ballad of Dood & Juanita can initially seem a bit slight, yet it's ultimately quite sturdy, an album that gains its strength from Simpson's dogged dedication to the concept -- there's nothing extraneous in his songs here -- and the impeccable execution of the band.
-
Aug 20, 2021The Ballad of Dood & Juanita, is his most rugged and resilient yet. Simpson’s third release in just the past twelve months, it’s yet another example of his unfettered ambition.
-
Aug 20, 2021As much as you have to admire Simpson for making such an oddball and ambitious record, the album rarely transcends its tale.
