I was a little worried picking this up, I am no fan of country music. It's definitely Voltaire's style, which helped me ease into it a little better. My first listen I was confused...unsure of how I felt about it, but listening to the songs randomly throughout the day, I slowly began to accept the country style and started to enjoy it immensely. Writing this review after Riding A Black Unicorn...I have to say from HLIAST to the new record...it's incredible. Voltaire is amazing. For me, it took a few lessons but someone could easily get hooked from the first song.

A very creative combination of country with a tinge of darkness, clever irony, great music and instruments, and Voltaire's unique voice. The humor is definitely Voltaire style and I believe the music could appeal to Voltaire fans, country fans, and people who just like something new, all the same. The style is something I've never heard before but it still has Voltaire's touch. The music is rich and the lyrics are smart. Definitely impressive and an album I highly recommend.

I finally got my hands on this album and it's awesome. The lyrics are clearly standard Voltaire fare set to very well done country music. I never would have expected an album like this from Voltaire, but all I can really say is that he completely nailed it. Whether you are an old school Country & Western fan or a fan of the artist, you'll probably love this album. Very well done, in my opinion. A+

As soon as its shipped and in my grubby little hands, ill devour it and give a proper reveiw.  But i thank you Voltaire.. because its true... Country has become vapid superficial banjos.  Jhonny Cash is one of my favorite artists, and i always wondered why.  He was a true country artist... told a story, like you, and like most folk music, which is what country is suppose to be.  It was supose to be our folk music.  After a certain point, it failed.  In any case, love your work, and thanks for opening my mind yet again to the pleasures of this world and everything in it!!
