"Fresh out of Nashville, but really an ambassador for almost every facet of Americana, there is seemingly nothing that can faze Sean Thompson. Barefoot Jerry's self-titled second album and Grass Roots-esque harmonies form the obvious bedrock, but he's a many-trick pony. Setting out a varied stall, he embraces the sweep of American Beauty-era Grateful Dead on New Trailway Boogie ("hills are high and so am I"), before veering towards intricate J.J. Cale-style plucking on the instrumental, Instrumental Health and understated Uncle Tupelo complexity on Before The Flowers Bloom. He's no mere fanboy though. There's an urgent joy to all he does, the similarly unfazed Weird Ears ensure the ancient musical references don't sound dated and those harmonies are divine” mojo magazine
