    With the help of his band, he's recorded some of the most pristine, beautiful, exciting and fluid playing and singing I've heard in a long time.

    [A] low-key, often gorgeous new project. [Jun 2016, p.79]

    Skifflin', an enjoyably low-stakes release, feels less like McCombs’ next frontier in tackling the Great American Folk Album than a leisurely sojourn.

    McCombs’ work can be a stylistic patchwork, charming and sparkling in its variety. But across what it’s fair to call just 10 tracks, and with an over-arching theme, it feels constrained, perhaps waiting in the station.
