Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.102
4 stars out of 5 -- "Haggard breezes through ersatz-mariachi tunes and delivers cutting love songs -- check out 'Stranger in the City,' about a road-warrior musician who refuses to cheat."
Spin
4.5 stars out of 5 -- "His lead guitar forever flinty, his baritone beautifully distressed, the man has made a masterpiece."
Uncut - p.98
4 stars out of 5 -- "Haggard himself sounds finely weathered, his voice now freighted with the same shrewd wisdom and Kristofferson or Levon Helm."
Billboard (p.29) - "He's gone from the angry 'Okie From Muskogee' to a weathered everyman poet with a Western twang and a California kind of country swing that puts melodic heft behind musings on the human condition."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.94
4 stars out of 5 -- "[He] still shuffles the deck like no other, dispensing country waltzes, chuckling his way through trumpet-lick-flavoured jazz shuffles and delivering romantic ditties that bring a genuine tear to the eye..."
