Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 3/26/04, p.74
"Byrne's affectless tenor is a perfect match for the delicate bob-and-weave grooves on this CD..."
Q - 4/04, p.107
3 stars out of 5 - "[A]rresting in its breadth of content and creativity."
Uncut - 4/04, p.96
3 stars out of 5 - "[M]ore wide-ranging in a subtler, more subversive manner, taking in Gallic accordion...countrified pedal-steel guitar...and lashings of elegant string arrangements."
CMJ - 4/04, p.36
"Here again, he just yanks in influences from all over the place and pastes them together to create tiny, heartfelt gems, as endearing as they are marvelously catchy."
Mojo (Publisher) - 4/04, p.99
4 stars out of 5 - "[E]ssayed with the beaming confidence of a 51-year-old artist whose intellect and joie de vivre have achieved a long-overdue synergy."
