"Windfall still finds Pug staking out his own part of singer-songwriter territory at the intersection of folks like Dylan, Springsteen, Isbell, Prine, Ritter, and others. There's joy here, but it's of a very serious sort. He's tweaking and growing his sound, though, and his songs feel increasingly more personal. Rather than shy away from the pressures of two previous albums (and assorted EPs) full of striking, unique songs, he's fought through the tough times to create even more".
