There is a haunting sadness to this gentle, thought-provoking album. The band, led by Carl Mathson, is tight, as this mostly live-in-the studio recording shows, but the mood is relaxed, creating a soft and warm environment for the bordering-on-depressing songs. There is a subtle, dark beauty to these songs that require an attentive ear. It is worth the extra effort. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Rootsy)
