"These mellow folk blues encompass songs from the Great Depression era: "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" (a demo version of which was recorded way back in 1964 by Janis Joplin with Kaukonen on guitar), as well as a re-arranged obscure Woody Guthrie tune called "Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me" ... Ain't in No Hurry is feel-good music, played by a seasoned and assured troubadour equally at home on a spotlit stage or a front porch. This far into his career, it's nice to hear he's still got it".

"His latest LP is all austere, unplugged displays of the Piedmont finger style that's been his signature since his 1966 Jefferson Airplane showpiece "Embryonic Journey." There are covers and originals ... He mostly lays back, a master in situ, unfurling melodies and savoring every note".

"'Ain't In No Hurry' is Jorma Kaukonen's third Red House Records release and second with Larry Campbell as producer. It is the most stripped down of the three and the most effective. The spotlight is clearly trained on his fingerpicking acoustic guitar and homespun singing. It would have been hard to imagine that the guy who unleashed those acid-tinged, epic guitar-solos as part of Jefferson Airplane in the late 1960s would fit so comfortably in the mix of acoustic blues, country and other rootsy forms that has come to be called Americana".
