4.1 + I hemmed and hawed over this review for a few months and it'd been sitting incomplete for all that time. Originally, I listened to this back in the fall when it was still up on Spotify and thought it was the perfect backdrop for an afternoon drive through vividly colored backroads. Returning to it many months later, I find my enthusiasm cooled slightly. I love the casual way "Out on the Weekend" breezes in on a groove to open up the record. Then there are songs like "Heart of Gold", "Old Man" and "The Needle and..." that are probably my favorite of his songs. But mixed in are a couple forgettable tracks like "Are You Ready for the Country?" Also, "A Man Needs a Maid" I just find strange. I was expecting great but got very good. Still, it's very good.
