Minnesota Public Radio's The Current remarks, "Only 20 years old, John
Mark Nelson sings with a slow-smoked croon that belies his age, and he
fills his lyrics with sharp, detailed observations of life and love in
the Midwest. This folk-pop songwriter has racked up an impressive list
of accolades, too."
