Better than "Push Me Again"

"First off, let me say that Mule was an incredible band. It's hard to compare Reelfoot stuff to Mule since, well, the Mule stuff is just flat out impossible to replicate. This album, however, is great in it's own way. I never would have guessed that Preston had this kind of quiet streak inside him. I do like this one much better than the more recent "Push Me Again" which is good, but only in a watered down Mule kind of way. My personal favorites on this album are "Oleander", "Aw Bruiser", and "Temple". Great stuff."
Surprisingly beautiful...

"...considering what a ruckus Mule is. Don't get me wrong, I love Mule, but this is stunning in a different way. How can you not get chills with a line like "I hid Daddy's whiskey so he don't go to hell... I would do anything for you mother." But it's truly heartfelt stuff, reminds me of Uncle Tupelo, only more depressing (if that's possible). A must for Mule fans... hell, for all music fans."
