    It sure is satisfying to hear Hood blast past his comfort zone with these nuanced songs that he penned on the piano. Yet, when the revving guitar and braying singing we’ve come to expect from the Truckers frontman kick in on “The Van Pelt Parties,” it’s an every bit as exciting return to form.

    His first solo release in nearly 13 years, his most adventurous and surprising, and his best.

    It isn't quite the unexpected triumph that Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance was, but it confirms Patterson Hood is capable of more than he's created with the Drive-By Truckers, great as they are, and it's a pleasure to hear him challenge himself with such impressive results.
