"Taylor follows up his breakout record with another very solid effort. Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon carries some of his trademark tracks. The album is a bit more produced than Sweet Baby James, but Taylor's sound remains in tact. Its a solid rival to its predecessor and I listen to it nearl..."  [+]  Reply

"The songwriting is almost as good as Merriweather. The production is much crisper, and after a few listens the supposed "busyness" melts away, as it does on any other Anco release. I put this in the top 3 of theirs."  Reply

"Exquisite, off-kilter dream-pop that conjures up a variety of moods, settings and time-periods. Very enveloping and an obvious precursor to later works in that genre."  Reply

"I love this album, catchy and aggressive and young. The energy in this album is infectious. Very beatle-ish melody's with Debbie's vocals charm, I mean, who can ask for more? and Clem Burke, he is everything!"  Reply

"One of Sinatra's finest recordings. Songs for young lovers, sees the beginning of his working relationship with Nelson Riddle, and it's a brilliantly enjoyable record with plenty of highlights. They can't take that away from me, someone to watch over me(on the extended twelve track version), a fo..."  [+]  Reply

"Out coming from the typical sounds, this album takes to be the most electronic that Reznor ever made, he gives him time to create 16 different sounds (not the best creativity comparing each one) that every song dives to amaze people while listening, and he still singing sad, negative, creepy lyri..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a really, really solid debut album from an established Nashville songwriter. The issue is, I think I want to like it more than I actually do. This album is a step in the right direction in terms of steering the "main stream country music" ship back around. It contains powerful vocals, tra..."  [+]  Reply
