SPIN MAGAZINE:
"The kind of album you'll listen to over and over, because it adapts to every phase, every mood...It's a museum-worthy, American-quilt-apple-pie comfort, perfect for our times right now"
Lucky 13: Squirrel Nut Zippers’ Jimbo Mathus and Andrew Bird have a new album, 'These 13,' with a beautiful folky sound
GARDEN & GUN:
"A little bit folk, a little bit gospel, a little bit bluesy, a little bit Hank, a little bit hill country, but most emphatically, it is all heart...an embrace of not only music, but of the churning of the human spirit as it navigates the world and reaches for others.”
A New Southern Album for Right Now
PITCHFORK:
"Mathus and Bird remain attuned to the morality of folk music, whether urban or rural. They seem to understand that it enables empathy and compassion in the performer as well as in the listener, which plays into the hymn-like quality of the music."
