Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
But the show belongs to Nelson, who has fashioned from these blues a sagebrush poet’s autumnal meditation on faded love and the wages of the sporting life. The result is emotionally rich, musically savory and languidly blue from end to end.

Ultimately, those cameos, which are intended to broaden the audience, wind up short-circuiting a record that could have been a modest highlight of Nelson's latter-day catalog. As it stands now, Milk Cow Blues is largely a wasted opportunity.

George Graham
the album has the side benefit of demonstrating how much the blues and country have in common. Nelson's venture into another of the great American music forms proves to be one of his best releases in some time.

Truth to tell, blues isn't his métier ("Fools Paradise," "Texas Flood"). *
