  2. 7.0 |   Clash

    The ballads here perhaps hold the most interest, mining some deep Blues tradition delivered against the starkest of backdrops, slide guitar and banjo, allowing his beatific guard to drop

  3. 7.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Weird that a sixtysomething singing about driving his tractor can feel like a musical antidote. But weird is exactly what the music biz could do with more of

  4. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    On the title track, Steve asks, ""Don't you got nothin' better to do than listen to a man from another time?"" The album presents itself as a fitting answer to that question

  5. 6.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    Man From Another Time should keep his ol’ boxcar rollin’ a good while yet

  11. 6.0 |   Blurt

  12. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Wold's wheezing vocal still sounds as if he washed whisky down with dust

  13. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Typically enjoyable, though not quite as potent as the quarter-million-selling I Started Out with Nothing
