Hard Music for Hard Times

- Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Impressive"
- Mike Joyce, The Washington Post
"A glorious debut"
- Andy Turner, Country Standard Time
"Terrific ... leans on the legacy of greats like George Jones, Gram Parsons, Sticky Fingers-era Stones, and those Muscle Shoals guys, Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham."
