  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Voiced in blues, roots, rock, country, folk, and even swing-jazz, his funny, biting, often tender observations of the four D's - decay, death, depression, and drinking - are all present

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Wainwright nails the exigencies of old age through the medium of rockabilly. Print edition only

    The whole thing feels like a dusky gambol through America's musical past. Print edition only

Latest Reviews

Tune-Yards  Better Dreaming

These 11 songs brim with images of armed men, noxious air and entitled egotists, intermingled with notions of self-liberation and community solidarity. But the sonics too often seem stuck in Garbus's past. Print edition only Mojo

Tune-Yards  Better Dreaming

They're following their "first thought" instincts while allowing space for the full expression of Garbus's mighty soul voice. Print edition only Uncut

Billy Nomates  Metalhorse

Altogether, with added depth and melody, it’s Maries’ best yet. Print edition only Mojo
