1996, A&M
Driven by off-kilter fiddles, a bizarre sense of humor and punk-inflected country-rock, 16 Horsepower's second album Sackcloth 'n' Ashes is a weirdly captivating listen. Nearly every song is a strange, backwoods fable, delivered with clever irony that never undercuts the essential, disturbing intentions of the songs. It's not for everybody, but for alt-country fans tired of Gram Parsons homages, Sackcloth 'n' Ashes is a welcome listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
