Feb 11, 2014Because even if Acoustic at the Ryman doesn’t flow like one natural performance, the cumulative effect of the record presents Band of Horses as a talented group of musicians who are wholly capable of playing live without sonic camouflage or superfluousness.
-
Mar 31, 2014Acoustic At The Ryman is an unplugged album done right. A live record that’s not just for hardcore fans, it’s a must for all lovers of alt.country.

MagnetMar 12, 2014Acoustic proves, once and for all, that BOH really is just a straight-up folk/rock band--and a pretty great one, too. [No. 107, p.53]

Feb 19, 2014Acoustic at the Ryman isn’t a necessary album by any means but it is reassuring. The musicianship and obvious care that Band of Horses put into this record is a great reminder that they’re far from done and excellent albums might be waiting in the future.

-
Feb 14, 2014Acoustic has all the ponderousness of a forgotten episode of MTV Unplugged, and that setting only highlights Band of Horses’ worst tendencies.
