The record it lives on is a portrait gallery of hard-luck Southern towns: AllMusic's Andrew Leahey heard archetypal characters from struggling places in the South, set to folk, country and barroom rock and roll, bittersweet but stubbornly resilient. Most critics liked it, and when the album came back on October 18, 2019, it had been remixed by Dave Cobb and remastered by Pete Lyman.
