Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.117) - "It's McMurtry's brilliant character sketches that really shine -- starting with the hilarious, poignant title track..." -- Grade: A-
Blender (Magazine) (p.77) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Muscularly arranged with bongolated beats, psychedelic swamp guitars, boogie-woogie pine top and snowballing chorus hooks.....You'd be hard-pressed to find a more hard-boiled depiction of hardscrabble '00s life on the edge of recession..."
Paste (magazine) (p.57) - "[I]t's the ache of 'Ruby and Carlos' that reveals McMurtry's sensitive brilliance as a chronicler of quiet desperation..."

Title Note

Nearly 20 years into his recording career, James McMurtry's JUST US KIDS reveals a man who has become not only one of America's finest roots-rockers, but one of the most penetrating, incisive songsmiths, wielding a lethal wit and a winning way with sociopolitical commentary. His previous album's protest epic "We Can't Make It Here Anymore" set a high bar that's ably matched here by everything from the bluesy state-of-the-union address, "Cheney's Toy," to national anti-anthem "God Bless America." McMurtry's patented deadpan delivery makes every carefully observed narrative connect like a kidney punch.
