The official comeback album. ?Most eclectic? is Calavera, released 19 years after the last one. The Texan lawyer, cult non-star and old drinking pal of Townes Van Zandt covers a broad swathe of Americana, from rootsy folk-picking and rolling country rock to the gorgeous Who Among You Sings Praises For The Training, an amalgam of Dylan?s Sad-Eyed Lady, and his own free-form piano lullaby? ? Sylvie Simmons, Mojo, September 1998.
?In closure, the digital desert landscape and mumbled Spanish of The Kid?s Last Night almost reconcile Burnett the instinctive troubadour with Burnett the frustrated composer? ? Stewart Lee, Sunday Times, 11 October 1998.
"This album also includes selections that span a long time period, from the mid 1970?s though 1998. Distinct from the other CD?s, it includes some electronic music created while I was having problems with my ass and my legs. I couldn?t walk without canes, and stayed pretty heavily medicated from about 1990 to 1993. The electronic music is kind of dreamy. The rest is similar to what you?ll hear on the other albums." - Abner Burnett |

?gentle acoustic songs . . . sprightly blues . . . washed out, late night jazz . . . rugged soul . . .? Country Music People
"(When picking a stark folk blues Burnett is a kindred spirit of Fred Neil and 1960's Greenwich villagers. ?Who Among You Sings Praises for the Training? mixes Biblical and historical American images into a wayward nine minutes of solo piano, ?Round the Bay of Mexico? features swooping Ry Cooder slide, and ?The Whistlin Diane's? harmonica punctuated narrative simply stuns." The London Sunday Times | | Sounds Like: | Fred Neil, Randy Newman, John Hiatt, Tom Waits |
