PopMatters
It is a beautiful collaboration, a wonderful platform for both the Pickers and Gunn to flex their muscles.

Seasonal Hire is an all-too brief look into four musicians' quest to push their music further.

Pitchfork
These songs borrow from their respective catalogs to create something new altogether: a kind of drone folk that’s heavy on high-lonesome ambience yet deeply rooted in the clay of regional tradition.

The Line of Best Fit
If nothing else, Gunn knows when he’s found a good thing in Virginia’s pickers.

An Appalachian celebration, rough but thrilling and totally human.
