    Immaculately crafted as ever, even if his enviable ability to pastiche everyone from Elvis to The Beach Boys ultimately obscures his own musical identity. [Mar 2014, p.75]

    Plugged In holds up well--20 years later, its isolationist roots rock doesn't feel dated as much as it feels out of time--and having a five or six strong cuts added to it does enhance its value, yet it's hard not to wish that ...Again was a full-on new album instead of this half-measure.

    Edmunds has always delivered, whatever the age and circumstances. And this batch of originals and covers, recorded in full do-it-himself mode, doesn't change that. [Feb 2014, p.91]

    It’s a relatively muted return, and we can only hope it’s a casual curtain-raiser to something fresher and more tangible to come.
