All Music Guide: “…rawer, more heartfelt, and just more musically interesting than the vast majority of what you’ll find in the holiday bin.”

Entertainment Weekly: “…the season’s standout CD is a collection of relative antiquities… 78 rpm gospel, blues, and hillbilly finds from the ’20s and ’30s…”

New York Times: “Probably the best and strangest Christmas album you’ll hear all year.”

Pitchfork: “…perfectly wonderful for tree-trimming and Charlie Brown-style dance-hopping, its true triumph is its uncanny longevity: It will last longer than your evergreen.”

San Antonio Express-News: “Fans of old-time music, or anyone with a pair of ears and an open mind, must seek out this smorgasbord of blues, mountain music, jazz, gospel, and diverse ethnic tunes…”

Uncut: “This uncommonly fervid Christmas comp locates the most devotional and intense field recordings from the American hinterlands.”
