Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The third album from this Texas-based singer/songwriter showcases the idiosyncratic songwriting style that has drawn comparisons to John Prine, Butch Hancock, Townes Van Zandt, Todd Snider, and Bob Dylan. These are Carroll's strongest songs to date, retaining the intimacy of his previous albums while filling the sound out significantly. Produced by Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks, Pat Green, Joe Ely).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best New Album of the Year, November 4, 2005

By	Michael K. Gould "Groundhog" (Milwaukee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No amount of praise that I can heap on this album can be effusive enough. This is a terrific record, with one great song after another. The lyrics are as crisp and clear as a perfect autumn day and the music is just wonderful. Listen to the samples, especially "Allright" and "Low in the Mountains , High in the Pines" and Buy It! You will not regret it. America needs this record to be a success so Mr. Carroll can make more records.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing album!, May 16, 2005

By	texas music fan (arkansas) - See all my reviews

I feel lucky to have been able to grow up listening to the songs of some of the great songwriters like Guy Clark, John Prine, Billy Joe SHaver and Ray Wylie Hubbard. Just when you wonder who will be there to take there place on day Adam Carroll steps up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad Adam ..., September 15, 2007

By	D. Travis Lay - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This guy has set the bar pretty high for himself with previous releases. This album doesn't hit me as hard as 'south of town.' But it's been in my truck CD player now for at least two months ad nauseum. The Cajun Symphony in 'Ricebirds' is powerful. The more I listen the more I find is there. Good. But he's been better.
