Autographed, while supplies last. Uncut magazine called Willie Vlautin, "..the laureate of the lost, the lonely, and the rootless." Thirteen Cities is filled with characters on the fringes desperate to survive. The overall sound, more upbeat than Fitzgerald, their relentlessly dark masterpiece, captures an ambient, shimmery desert rock noir feel. Richmond Fontaine are riding an upward creative arc that shows no signs of abating. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Union)
