The way Ritter lets his style meld with each new addition creates tracks that are simplistic and relatively shallow musically. Although each song on its own doesn’t contain layers of orchestration, the album manages to accomplish musical depth as an articulate whole that strings tracks together like...
...bristles with italics and exclamation points and repetitions--repetitions!--for emphasis, but Wolfe himself speaks softly, slowly and a little hoarsely, with the ruins of a long-ago Virginia accent.

It's a story Penn likes to tell because it illustrates a point: like all other terrific actors, neither he nor Nicholson can tell you how he does what he sublimely does...
...become an aide to South Dakota?s Senator James Abourezk. In 1978, Daschle was elected to the House of Representatives, and in 1986 he moved into the Senate. He quickly gained a reputation for humility and a willingness to compromise. He also became known to his critics as a wolfish partisan, whose strong opinions were only partially disguised by a lamb?s demeanor...
