These 13

"These 13 has little to do with Mathus and Bird recalling past glories, and much more to do with the beauty and mysteries of the music of the American South. Anyone who wonders why they love this stuff so much need only listen to this splendid album to find all the answers".

"On their first sustained collaboration since the Squirrel Nut Zippers' Bedlam Ballroom, Bird and Mathus draw from a range of old styles, primarily gospel, with the ease of old friends getting together for coffee".

"Two mainstays of Americana reconnect on 13 new songs ... Some songs here sound like old-style country classics, while others are clapboard-church gospel and blues. The vocals are spot-on and so is the musicianship - lots of virtuoso violin ; you'll have to wait until the end for the whistle - but it also has the warm, first take-feel of two old friends having a fine old time".
