Reviews"The album sounds heavy and elusive, like a field recording, and it will surely be studied with the most powerful of cultural microscopes...", "Rhythmic slam delivery over a minimalist industrial beat weaves a gray tapestry of life on 'Your Soul and Mine,' and 'On Coming From a Broken Home' is a touching tribute...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "As a radical overhaul of a career, it's a brave, brilliant and highly personal statement.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's a steely blues record at heart -- the sound of a damaged man staring in the mirror without self-pity but not without hope.", Ranked #29 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums of 2010in- "I'm New Here Is Hard, Real and Vital.", "A Testament to Spiritual Resilience....He Sounds both Worldly-Wise and Reborn.", Ranked #16 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums of 2010" -- "It was the weathered monologues that resonated most."
