"Elliot is surrounded by some exceptional, inventive musicians. Producer Joe Henry has created a relaxed, almost jam-session-like atmosphere.", "Elliott's Scratchy Wail Is Displayed with Ardor, Complemented with Simple, Poignant Accompaniment.", "Decades of traveling are etched in his voice, which has lost none of its power, and he clearly connects profoundly with the menu of 1920s blues tunes.", "Elliott brings a seen-it-all authenticity to this repertoire while Joe Henry's sympathetic production is pitch perfect...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The songs are well chosen, and the band -- including Van Dyke Parks and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos -- create a woozy, tumbledown feel, as if they are playing from a carnival float.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The survival of hardship is celebrated as an affirmation of life, and Ramblin' Jack has done enough living for two lifetimes."
