It's true, I don't know what you do to me, but I like it a lot, so do it some more.

There's a review of this album that says: “Bogachiel Rain Blues” is the type of song you could definitely rock out to on the juke box. I don't know about that. I am inclined to agree, because the feel does feel kind of 'rocky' but how would you rock out to this? I have some mental image of some slightly awkward skinny white trash guy with a mullet trying to swivel his hips poorly (doing kind of a "Forest Gump" if you will) with a shit eating grin on his face.

Pitchfork reviewed it too and they said their typical excessively wordy middling appraisal of the album:

As such, listeners won't be surprised to note that the Moondoggies, like their Northwestern brethren in Blitzen Trapper and Fleet Foxes, take their cues from Laurel Canyon, circa 1970, imagining neighborly collaborations that may or may not have happened: Crosby, Stills and Nash harmonizing over Graham Parson's country-rock riffs; Crazy Horse's fuzzy, bloody knuckled blues mingling with the Byrds' psychedelic organs; the Band flying in from Big Pink to add some gritty Americana backbone to the Eagles' easy, druggy melodies.

How could I ever follow that? I don't listen to any of those bands. I don't even really listen to this album (though I am right now, at work, because it's relaxing and pretty), but goddamn. How many little bits of rock history can you drop in one paragraph? Damn you, Pitchfork. Damn you most of all for being right about the album.

Don’t Be a Stranger is a charming collection by a confident and competent group of musicians, but its drawback is its same-ness. Sure, these 13 tracks are a rollicking good time-- a soundtrack to the open road, a score for all the neon lit biker bars on the interstate, and an expression of the joy at returning home-- but there is little dynamic diversity between them. Almost every song is played at a hazy, stoner pace-- slow enough to allow for impaired motor skills, but fast enough to build a repetitive, jammy groove...

Today is blockquote day. This is a song I like that I don't have anything to say about, whoops.

Black Shoe off the album is funny, as it goes "Where you goin' with my black shoe" repeated over and over again and then suddenly breaks into an uproarious "ALLLL NIIIGHTT LOONNNGG" repeated over and over again until quieting back up. Interesting songwriting.
