"This album is a revelation. Throughout her lengthy career, Peggy Seeger has proved that she is a thoughtful songwriter with an easygoing voice that offsets her often angry lyrics, but here she explores new, pained and personal territory, and does so with delicacy and soul. Listening to her relaxed, often acrobatic vocals, it's hard to believe she's 79. And she is still willing to experiment".

"In every way, shape and form, this is a remarkable album. At the age of 79, Seeger's voice is astonishingly strong, controlled and expressive, emitting a depth of emotion that somehow transmits more than the sum of its parts. The production handiwork of her son Calum MacColl applies another, even deeper dimension with a band (...) blowing old popular images of the folk singing solo banjo player clean out of the water. Then there's the (mostly self-written) material. Dark, brooding songs offering brutal imagery surrounding uncomfortable topics ... It's like nothing she's ever recorded before".
