ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", "...The varied arrangements uncover Guthrie's knack for evoking many moods with simple words, making for one of the year's most memorable and inspired albums...", Ranked #8 on Spin's List of "Top 20 Albums of '98.", "...Bragg and the otherwise callow Wilco make the many moods of Woody spring to life with boozy, woozy roughhouse folk-rock. It may feel like school, but at least the classroom's rollicking." - Rating: B+, 8 (out of 10) - "...The combination feels nostalgic and contemporary at once, like a good rabble-rousing speech--or a snatch of Americana suddenly recalled years after you thought it'd passed forever from memory."
