Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "The brilliantly nasty 'A Few Words In Defense of Our Country' flattens any other anti-Bush rant...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Newman works with piano, an orchestra and a Dixieland-style combo, using American musical tradition to amplify irony and yank heartstrings.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Newman roots his compositions in uptown-New Orleans R&B, classy and swinging. He mixes in dense string arrangements, breezy horns, even pianette....This is Newman's most unwound album...", "The man has a knack for taking the most direct path the crux of the matter....He does set the stage for a powerful script.", "The stunning title track -- an orchestrated mini-epic about a lout's near-death experience -- prove that Newman, at age 64, has more healthy bile in him than 64 angry twentysomethings." -- Grade: B+, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Drolly funny and packed with the usual array of self-deluded fools and bigots, pride of place goes to 'A Few Words In Defense Of Our Country'...", "So many laugh-out-loud moments resonate beyond the punchline, and each new spin of the album reveals another.", Ranked #25 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums of 2008in- "The Set Bowls Along with Jokes Aplenty...", Ranked #16 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "He's still fully armed with hilarious rage."
