100% | The Arts Desk | Ry Cooder is not only one of the greatest American guitarists of his time, a virtuoso who uses his technical mastery to make music with extraordinary soul, but he also has his heart firmly in the right place. |
100% | Irish Times | To achieve this album’s often mesmeric effect, Cooder, now 71, returns to the intimacy of a small gritty band and what he terms the “reverence” of gospel music, black and white, colouring it with his shivering sinewy bottleneck guitar over his drummer son Joachim’s moody underlays. |
100% | Nöjesguiden | När Ry Cooder under snart 50 år har sjungit välvalda gamla folksånger om fattigas villkor, om förföljelser och om orättvisor har han gjort det i egenskap av kunnig curator i den amerikanska musikens historiska museum. |
80% | Pop Matters | Ry Cooder's first album in six years exchanges pointed political commentary for spiritual songs of comfort and consolation. |
80% | Record Collector | For an album on which he takes stock of a 21st century US riddled with crises and uncertainty, Cooder astutely plunders the grammar of the nation’s folk music history with remarkable results. |
