Critic's Review
Denise Sullivan, All Music Guide
This compilation of material McDonald released on his Rag Baby label throughout the '70s and '90s (plus the previously unissued track "Thinking of John Fahey") is a must for any fan of the San Francisco rock iconoclast. Titles alone are enough to make one smile -- Entertainment Is My Business," "Kiss My Ass" and "Starship Ride" -- but the real gems are the performances, like the flawless take of the anti-conscription rag "Free at Last." Perhaps one of folk's most underrated voices, the collection showcases McDonald's unique jugband sound; his voice veers with ease from the mocking tone on the signature sarcastic tracks, to eerie on the beautiful "Who Am I?"
