Album Cover Description A dilapidated sofa overgrown in bushes (honeysuckle?) There are pavers, a mat, a grassless spot, and what appears to be an oil slick in the foreground. There is unsplit firewood in front of the sofa. (Perhaps the same sofa from Ready for the House)

As always, there are curtains drawn

Reviews More existential twang, strum, holler, and moan. Of course, a shylock like Will Oldham gets laid a lot when he pulls this trick, so it’s patently unfair that Texas recluse Jandek doesn’t get those same dumpy groupies. -- Fred Mills Magnet #31
