Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "In the clarified artistic vision of a mature musician with a broken heart, a spiritual sense of his place in the world and a rich, resonant voice, Escovedo devised an electric folk idiom ... powerfully suited to the poetic hair shirt he donned."[5]

gollark: How bad.
gollark: If you can give them physical objects, it is very easy, since you can just write "this is the front", "this is the right", and so on.
