If you love beautiful folk-rock in the vein o Ryan Adams more country-tinged work, you will love this album. Although deviating from his usual Rock'n'roll stylings and going for more emotional and straight-forward melodies, this is Grant-Lee Phillips crowning achievement, his voice is mature and smooth, the instrumentation is mainly acoustic guitar with some violin thrown here and there. Though soothing the album maintains enough dynamic to keep things interesting. If you like singer-songwriter folk-rock style this album is very necessary.
