"The Grateful Dead guitarist's first solo album in a decade is a set of "cowboy songs" crafted with singer-songwriter Josh Ritter and indie-folk heavies like the National's Bryce and Aaron Dessner".

"Weir sounds weathered and warm, reflective but not mired in nostalgia, not even when he's reviving trail songs or playing with American myths. In that sense, Blue Mountain is very much an extension of his work with the Grateful Dead, particularly Workingman's Dead and American Beauty: he's tapping into legends, then spinning them for the present day".

"Working with members of the National, Grateful Dead rhythm guitarist Bob Weir goes Americana and discovers a great old voice ... Pitched as Weir's "cowboy album" - and the songs are largely about that - Mountain is both a collection of contemporary Americana and something more. While some of the material would likely sound at home in the Dead's repertoire, like the good-natured gallop of "Gonesville," it's hard to imagine the latter lineups of the band treating the music quite so elegantly as Kaufman and company".
