I know I said in reviewing Gone Away Backward that I wouldn't collect him at B plus (folk/country in general), but I already have this, and will probably end up keeping Upland Stories (Christgau full A, so it's probably great), so I suppose I will keep this too. I do like it marginally better than Gone Away Backward. Probably should have given that one an honorable mention rather than B plus. I note that it is his highest user-reviewed album on Allmusic, but probably wouldn't be if it had as many reviews as Upland Stories. Keeping this and Upland Stories also has the benefit of owning both of his albums graded in the A range by both Christgau and Hull.
Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).
