Throughout the '90s, the group quietly built up a following with a series of solid records and constant touring. By the end of the decade, they had become a popular cult band and were on a major label, which gave them the opportunity to record the star-studded Nashville Sessions. Every song on the album features a duet of some sort, and producer Randy Scruggs was able to secure the big names, which certainly gives the album character. Still, the set wouldn't be much more than glorified stunt casting if it didn't give Leftover Salmon an opportunity to flex their muscles, to illustrate how far they've come over the years. Not only are they working with strong material (something that hasn't always happened on their previous albums), but Scruggs keeps things clean and simple, putting the spotlight on the music itself. Throughout it all, Leftover Salmon successfully keep pace with their heavyweight guests and, in the process, they turn in the most charming album of their career to date. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine |

| | Professional Reviews | | Dirty Linen (2-3/00, p.57)
- "...a mostly traditional album....[that] has a similar felling of father's meeting long-missing sons to the Dirt Band's seminal work [WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN]....It's a testament to Leftover Salmon's musicianship and versatility..."No Depression (1-2/00, p.93)
- "...features guests ranging from Earl Scruggs to Lucinda Williams to Bela Fleck to Waylon Jennings....[THE NASHVILLE SESSIONS] delivers a solid, substantial set of musical collaborations." |
