"I felt like a pig in shit while listening to Where Have All the Good Folk Gone. The quintet owes an ode to Wilco, but The Barebones don’t sound like copycats in the least, but a band that has done their homework on alt-country and pop sensibilities and they hit the mark nearly every time. 

Where Have All the Good Folk Gone opens with the upbeat drone rocker “Holding On”. This gritty fight song mentality continues on the title track especially with its bluesy guitar riffs and the blue collar lyrical call outs like “will you take a stand or quietly just stand back.” The Wilco-ness, in their most lapidary form comes through again on the heartfelt 'The Only Way' and the alt-country heart bleeding 'Sorry for Leaving'.  

The Barebones aren’t afraid to pull out the rock either as they do on the organ rocker 'Strangely Alone' and the sunny sounding but lyrically sad 'Reach' which sounds like a pop-radio hit if I’ve ever heard one. Though by far their poppiest hit 'Wandering Blind' sounded like the best direction for The Barebones. It’s raucous in a bluesy Stones type of all. Where Have All the Good Folk Gone is an exquisite piece of alt-country pop rock. You should be so lucky to hear such pop perfection in your lifetime."
