check out this review of terroir blues by adam mckibbin
"...The sorrow in Farrar’s music, when it does crop up, is the Sorrow of Man or the Sorrow of Americana, but never is it the Sorrow of the Misunderstood Songwriter. Terroir Blues is a proud peg in the career of one of alt-country’s founding fathers, an album of piano-steeped ruminations and slow-burning songwriting gems...
Bonus Invective: If anyone can find a more revoltingly obtuse review of this album, be it positive or negative, than Christian Hoard’s forehead-slapper for Rolling Stone, I’ll send you a dollar in the mail. I’m not kidding."
