“the kansas sessions is sheer, banjo-dominated americana from its tom waits-like washboard blowouts to its clarinet soliloquies... there's certainly enough of the offbeat in the restless tempos and illicit still-cum-dixieland arrangements.”
HMV
“shivering, hollering, edgy, dark, delightful, disturbing, involving, beautifully phrased, acoustic music”
the living tradtion
“the kansas sessions is full of beautifully produced, immediately accessible, joyously engaging music that, like a carnival barker, draws you inside to take a closer look at the disturbing, the weird and the wonderful. if it was a film, it would be a coen brothers' film.”
