"Stick on your pork pie hat, grab a slug of moonshine and cut yourself a rug.”
- MAVERICK MAGAZINE, MARCH 2010
“A rollicking, engagingly idiosyncratic amalgam of old-time blues and jug band sensibilities. [The music is] informed not only by squalling harmonica and whumping bass but a conviction that makes them sound about six decades older than they really are. As well as Pines' nasal holler, Zack Pozebanchuk on bass and Nathan Taylor and Andy Tubb sharing credits on drums, there are tasty contributions from guest artists including producer Gill Landry on slide guitar. Stand-out tracks include the harmonica and fiddle-driven 'Chew Tobacco Rag' and a compelling rendition of Harlem, a vintage joint-jumper swinging to sax and cornet. It's not all up-tempo stomp, and Pines' Walking Down the Road has overtones of early Dylan in its guitar finger-picking and wistful drawl." - JIM GILCHRIST, THE SCOTSMAN MARCH 2010
