Craftsmanship. A landmark record in the annals of Cosmic Country, Americana and other traditions. Also a stunning statement in its own right. A record apart. Remind me of The Go Betweens in the loving detail and attention paid to decription of  setting and emotion applied in every song. Also in the way that the band are pictured sat on a settee on the front cover. In a similar manner to The Go Betweens on the sleeve of Tallullah. Otherwise the primary reminders are of The Band and Gram Parsons. And in a very good way.The record is so good that the highest praise and comparison points are appropriate.
