"Fans are likely to know Jimbo Mathus from his work with neo-swing-roots powerhouse the Squirrel Nut Zippers and, more recently, he has made some great music with the South Memphis String Band as well as other projects with Luther Dickinson. But while all of this is great, his solo work is a whole new game entirely. Here he continues to explore the roots of American music while also keeping an eye on the future. In doing so, he has created a quintessential modern folk album, with generous helpings of honky tonk, rhythm and blues, and Southern rock loaded onto the plate as well.

From the '70s rock-esque "Walks Beside" to the Wild West ballad "Aces and Eights," to "Town With No Shame," a honky tonk number that wouldn't sound out of place on an old Johnny Paycheck record, this is American music at it's finest and with the elegiac closer "Days of High Cotton," it becomes one of the best albums of the year." - No Depression
