Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 8/31/00, pp.69-73

5 stars out of 5 - "...A grand tribute to a stubborn ideal....Heard next to the greed and plasticity of early-21st-century pop, the conviction and selflessness in these songs sound like a long-dead language..."

Entertainment Weekly - 12/1/00, p.98

"...The straightforward and earnest nature of much of the music only highlights the singers' unflinching courage, focus, and refreshing lack of cynicism..." - Rating: A

CMJ - 9/25/00, p.25

"...Compiles Broadside contributions from many key folk music figures....without the precedent of Broadside, there probably wouldn't have been latter-day content-heavy bands like R.E.M, Beck or Son Volt..."

Mojo (Publisher) - 12/00, p.108

"...An invaluable insight into the mindset of an era and the bit-part players...who helped navigate it."
