"Jorma Kaukonen has quite possibly never been further removed from his Jefferson Airplane days than he is on "Stars in My Crown." This new disc is ruled by an acoustic consciousness in the service of mainly spiritual tunes, including a fine rendition of the Rev. Gary Davis' "There's a Table Sitting in Heaven" and "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown." Kaukonen also takes a pleasing plunge on the reggae gem "By the Rivers of Babylon." When not tracking spirituals, Kaukonen offers excellent covers of Joe Kroker's "Mighty Hard Pleasure" and Lightnin' Hopkins' "Come Back Baby." The project is also notable for an abundance of good pickin', courtesy of Kaukonen, Rob Ickes, Barry Mitterhoff, Sally Van Meter and Tim Stafford." (Billboard - USA)
