"A balance between the eternal and the ephemeral lives within these songs, along with one between the sweet and the sad. There is a lot of death on this album, but for the country/bluegrass genre, his approach is less morose than matter-of-fact, even sensitive and sweet about it. Maybe this is related to the creativity that can come within constraints, but some of the Jackson-written songs (he wrote eight of the 14) seem much stronger than the song's he written on the more commercial-leaning of his recent albums".

"Jackson's foray into bluegrass seems easy and natural, as if he'd been playing it all along. Contemporary country stations might not play it, but Jackson is unconcerned. He's earned the right to drop out of the rat race and do whatever he wants to do, and for now, that means bluegrass".
