At 3.8 million square miles, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles.

Forty-eight states and the capital's federal district are contiguous in North America between Canada and Mexico. The State of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The State of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones.

Writing for Allmusic, critic Steve Leggett noted Van Ronk's illness and wrote of the album "Van Ronk's deliberate jazz phrasing is still there, as are the signature guitar skills, but the gruff power in his voice is all but gone, replaced by a soft, hoarse whisper, and there are many times when you can hear his difficulty drawing breath in the spaces between singing. All of this brings a tremendous intimacy and poignancy to several of the songs here... Newcomers to Van Ronk's music should probably sample his earlier albums first, since they give a clearer version of this performer in his prime." [1] Critic Luke Torn of No Depression wrote of the album "This remarkable recording of Van Ronk’s last concert (recorded in October 2001) is the fondest of goodbyes. Generous of spirit, with lots of crazy stories and a full repertoire played with verve and passion, Van Ronk touches on the full spectrum of the American songbook." [2]
