2000, 4AD
Not a cover of the Elvis Presley hit, Mojave 3's Return to Sender instead possesses a kind of casual, offhand charm recalling some of the more lighthearted moments from Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes sessions, right down to the woozy, good-timey chorus that guides the song out. Which begs the question of why this likable but slight number was selected as a single over more substantial Excuses for Travellers fare like the haunting My Life in Art -- it exemplifies few of the qualities that make the record so genuinely moving. This EP is still worth purchasing for its B-sides, the first a live cover of Out of Tune's Yer Feet recorded in Portugal, and the second a telling cover of Dylan's Nashville Skyline opus Girl from the North Country. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
