Critical reception [ edit ]
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Employing odd, broken rhythms and unorthodox sequences of notes and chords in a guitars-bass-drums format, Souled American basically breaks up the conventions of country-folk then reassembles them in a new and distinctive way."[7] The Chicago Reader called Flubber "an offhandedly pretty and searchingly lyrical record."[9]
