"Beautiful, shattering, remorseful about the dire state of things but strangely hopeful in the end, a warm wooly blanket that actually has something important to say but doesn't wallow in feigned misery- a masterstroke from a promising artist who has finally come into her own."  Reply

"One of the most underrated albums on these charts, and my second-favorite live album of all time. Joe Jackson is not a major artist - if you haven't heard this album.

"Johnny Cash at his very best. The two Dylan covers are dynamite, and Mama, You've Been on My Mind, Long Black Veil and the title track are among the highlights of Cash's entire catalog."  Reply

"(Clean, professional, epic, varied, subtly ambitious, well-realized, piece of Pop ((in so many varied forms)) that never falls short of technical brilliance. Although it rarely blows me away or hits me on a personal and emotional level, its clearly a fucking major musical accomplishment.) This is..."  [+]  Reply
