Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - "Possibly the most straightforwardly enjoyable album Oldham has produced thus far....He sounds more human, less theatrical, touchingly direct.", "Beefed up country-style with big guitars, rollicking piano, fiddling fiddles and loud pedal steel....An agreeable curio...", "Most of These Jaunty Retoolings Are a Rhinestone-Studded Joy."-Grade: B+, 3 stars out of 5 - "Oldham doesn't cover so much as reinvent spare Palace tunes such as "Ohio River Boat Song" and "Gulf Shores" into lush countrypolitian numbers.", Ranked #43 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "A stunning collection of wryly provocative country ballads with a blackly humorous twist.", "These Sounds Are Amazingly Fresh, Vibrant, and a Breath of Fresh Air...", "His now-solid voice is confident, as though years of inexplicable yearning have made him wiser....Oldham's disenchantment has finally been refigured into a brilliant new eloquence."
