Critic Reviews
Show All-
All Music
- the kind of record for the dedicated believers who like to hear Jones performing cleanly as a professional.
-
No Depression
It’s not a bad Jones album, mind you — even the Garth duet could have been worse — and there are moments when it’s very good, but it just doesn’t quite measure up.
-
The Guardian (UK)
This is a collection of songs about love, drinking, patriotism and nostalgia, the sort of mixture that could find Jones with an unexpected hit on his hands, considering the current climate in his homeland.
-
Entertainment Weekly
2001 - affecting collection about deferred dreams, lost opportunities, and essential connections.
-
The Pitch
2001 - Jones' new voice is thinner, reedier, pitched higher than before, and it's mostly incapable of his trademark burping bass runs and pinball melismas, though he comes close on "Beer Run," a tongue-twisting duet (B-double E-double are you in!) with Garth Brooks.
-
New York Times
2001 - at age 70, the Possum is sounding as vital as he did at 30.
