Rolling Stone (p.174) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Taylor's murky swamp drones and intricate African folk move right past entertainment - into a realm where the blues can again be about illumination, and provocation."
Dirty Linen (p.62) - "Taylor's use of the electronic mandolin and banjo is most unusual for the blues, but it seems to hit home."
Living Blues (p.49) - "Denver's blues-noir poet is back, and neither the darkness of his lyric vision nor the artistry of his soundscapes shows any sign of diminishing."
