"Willi Carlisle is the latest in a long line of punk rockers that have smoothly settled into the world of folk rock. Like Tim Barry, Frank Turner and Cory Branan before him, Carlisle has managed to tap into the lyrical authenticity of punk rock storytelling and bridge to the folk world with an acoustic guitar and an unrushed tempo. His second effort, Peculiar, Missouri, finds him wedding the elements of both genres beautifully".
