Reviews"...An Eccentric, Genre-Hopping Tribute to the Mutability of Song-Craft...", "...A Well-Chosen Set...Above Reproach...", 3 Stars Out of 5-"...Gelb Tackles Unexpected Covers to Pleasing Effect...", "...Jocular and enjoyable...best of all is their take on Black Sab's idiotically memorable 'Iron Man'...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's intermittently wonderful, the mash-up of Marty Robbins' 'El Paso' and Neil Young's 'Out On The Weekend' laying bare Giant Sand's mercurial inner logic."
