Beautiful packaging of a beautiful record. In my top 2 of all time. I don’t even have a record player. I just wanted to support, and have the booklet. Can’t wait to see them in Covington in September.

One of the greatest albums of the past 25 years, remastered, and in a beautiful deluxe edition with extra artwork, and with all the songs intended to be on the original album. A true masterpiece!

Knockout reissue. The mix is excellent. The additional songs fill out the concept. The dynamics are great. The liner notes are beautiful. It’s a really great album. I couldn’t be happier. The Dirty South is a seminal album. All the songs are good. Some great. It stands the test of time.

Not a simple reissue. It truly is a well-concieved, well-mixed, and great reimagining of a great album. The new songs fit right in and the new vocal mixes highlight how Hood's vocal control and style has improved over the years. I don't just have two versions of the same album, I have two distinct pieces of art. (Plus the book, new Freed artwork, and general packaging is just really cool)
