Michael McCall wrote in The Nashville Scene, "Byrne takes an expansive view on the possibilities of roots music." That is, Byrne has made a terrific spiritual country record. He seamlessly incorporates a broad range of musical flavors into this very satisfying (and spiritually uplifting) release. Shawn Byrne migrated from Boston (and from the band The Kickbacks) to Nashville, and earned his way as a demo singer and songwriter. His version of his song "Ol` Cook Pot", the lead track on the Duhks album "Migrations," is included here. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (What? Records)
