  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Hillbilly heaven: Jay Farrar's love affair with American roots deepens. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    With Wilco now seemingly on the downward slide, and Honky Tonk showing just how much of a vital force Son Volt is, this might just be the perfect time for Farrar’s band to reclaim the promise of their wildly successful debut

  9. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The formula’s still effective even after so many trips down the same old country road

  10. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    Farrar continues to sing about regular folk, but still hasn’t found a way to sing to them
