Released August 20, 1996

This fine collection of tunes proves once again that no one can breathe life into a traditional number like the Blakes. Besides masterfully handling just about anything with strings, Norman and Nancy Blake's weathered vocals blend beautifully and are perfectly set in these obscure chestnuts. For a real wake-up call, listen to the chilling "Starving to Death on the Government Claim," a cry for help from the little guy. This disc is proof that some things never change, especially good songs. ~ Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
