Awards
NO DEPRESSION: “ . . . absolutely timeless, tracing the steps of some of the greatest folk and Americana interpreters.”
303 MAGAZINE: “Modern-day Masterpiece . . .”
ROUTES & BRANCHES: “Consider the close-in immediacy of Hiss Golden Messenger triangulated with the cinematic scope of Calexico - a space on the smudged and torn map that's well-removed from the noise of the nearest city.”
MARQUEE MAGAZINE: "In his own way, this New Mexico native is taking cues from the likes of Waits, Steinbeck and Hemingway as he strives to shine light on the plight of working-class men and women in our time — and while that’s not always pretty, this record has very few blemishes.”
