On her Bloodshot Records debut Lydia Loveless true-to-life testimonials hit and hit hard. Be it whiskey men God or alienation she takes them all on. Heady doses of punk rock energy and candor with the country classicism she was raised on. It s a gutsy and unvarnished mash-up. She conveys toughness tenderness and humor with off-handed conviction... these are songs that signal a major new voice blowing into the country-punk dives and honky-tonks. - CHICAGO TRIBUNE
