Entertainment Reviews:

Spin - 12/01, pp.154,157
8 out of 10 - "...Sincere paeans to growth, self-realization, and tree-hugging transcendence....the best West Coast country-rock band since '80s insurgents the Long Ryders..."
Alternative Press - 2/02, p.65
Ranked #23 in AP's "25 Best Albums of 2001".
Alternative Press - 12/01, p.83
8 out of 10 - "...Avoiding irony and smarm...this gives off good vibrations..."
Magnet - p.85
"Many of the album's tracks began nice and steady with honky-tonk fingerpicking and woozy pedal steel but ended in a miasma of organ drone and haunting harmony vocals."
CMJ - 10/8/01, p.5
"...A relaxed, panoramic sound and psychedelic effects gently mutating together..."
Mojo (Publisher) - 11/01, p.100
"...They take the nascent country rock of The Byrds and extrapolate every last ounce of plangent guitar chime and yearning vocal polyphony until they ring afresh..."
