Entertainment Reviews:
Entertainment Weekly - 4/14/00, pp.74-5
"...A gimmicky solo album of self-consciously weird semi-songs....these arty blues tunes are considered and careful in their approach..." - Rating: B-Alternative Press - 7/00, p.107
4 out of 5 - "...Whiskey-marinated blues and old-world tribal soul....a brash synergy of James Brown, Barry White, Little Walter...and Alan Freed..."CMJ - 5/29/00, p.31
"...This faux-greatest hits album has a soulful blues sensibility that belies the project's New York City roots. This is [John] Lurie getting down and mischievous with stellar results..."Down Beat - 6/00, p.70
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...The disc grooves with an infectious lounge (but not Lounge Lizard) aesthetic....Pontiac's [a.k.a. John Lurie's] lyrics come across as a great blast of slacker humor...[His] story is a sad tale of a man used and cast aside by the music business..."Tracks:
