Rolling Stone review of Cripplin' Crutch:

"Joe Flood speaks so many stylistic dialects fluently it's no small wonder that Cripplin' Crutch sounds so cohesive. Nevertheless, this New York roots enthusiast and practitioner assembles eleven gems that clothe his rich, warm voice in a variety of settings that offer varied usage of things with strings. From the first, crisp acoustic lick of the rollicking title track through the roadhouse blues of "Niagra" to the more tender "Deep Sleep Blue," Flood tears through a spectrum of what has conveniently been labeled Americana. Instead, he shows it for what it is: a musical roadcut with a diverse series of musical strata. Comparisons to the Band have been and continue to be thrown about lazily in the wake of the insurgent country movement that almost happened. What gets missed is that the essence of the Band wasn't just an embrace of acoustic-based instruments and a rural vibe, but rather how they were able to speak something new through said components. Flood's layering of guitars, with assistance from producer extraordinaire Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, achieves a textural effect. And his use of mandolin is spare and beautiful, rather than a look-at-me pickin' workout. Country, blues, bluegrass, and rock & roll: it's all here, why bother trying to catalog it?"
