Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that the album "rides the fine line between melancholy and mediocrity." [1] SF Weekly wrote that Country Teasers' "smirking delivery reveals the lyrics to be an indiscriminate jest." [7] The Dallas Observer wrote that Destroy All Human Life "turns down the flailing energy for a much more subdued murk owing more to mid-fi Royal Trux-y rambling than anything else." [8]

Trad Arr Jones is a tribute album to Nic Jones by British-American folk singer John Wesley Harding. The album consists of Harding's covers of Jones' arrangements of eleven traditional songs, hence the album's title, which is short for "Traditional, Arranged by Jones". It is very different from Harding's previous albums, partly because Harding used to dislike English folk music like Jones'.
