"Really strong storytelling and song writing make this one stand out from the crowd. It starts really strongly and keeps the quality high for 8 or 9 tracks. The album rewards repeated listens - go on give it another go!" Reply
"This record today sounds a bit dated. That said she does great covers of Mr. Cohen's songs. A nice record." Reply
"Pop/rock with a bit of electronic and generally catchy songs that create an entertaining album to listen to.

"It's hard to believe that Nanci Griffith and her amazing talents never made her as big as she should have been.

"This was the album that really consolidated Los Lobos' name as a modern rock band that was on level with contemporary trends, wrote great songs and who played their instruments sang their songs to pure delight.

"Nice to see Dylan's 'I'll Keep It With Mine' on the album." Reply
