  1. Alternative Press
    90
    James Jackson Toth's solo debut has the depth, energy and character of a great comedy. [Sep 2008, p.151]
  2. Waiting in Vain captures the modest landscape of America’s backroads and countrysides.
  3. Calling on producer Steve Fisk, current Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, and members of Vetiver and Evangelista, Toth conjures a down-home vibe that sinks in slowly but surely.
  4. Mojo
    80
    Waiting in Vain mines a harmony-rich seam of sticky-fingered country rock and blue sky FM pop. [Oct 2008, p.109]
  5. Uncut
    80
    Toth's chimeric qualities are still evident. [Oct 2008, p.113]
