"Performing with an abiding love and respect for the western past, Riders in the Sky have fun with the tradition, but never make fun of it. Even better, they have become part of the tradition that they so lovingly preserve. When you see or hear Riders in the Sky, you do not step back into a period piece or a recreated segment of history. You will always hear them pay tribute to the Western musical greats of the past, with songs like "Cool Water" and "Cattle Call," but you will also hear them do their own compositions, like "Desert Serenade," which fittingly take their place alongside the classics. Riders in the Sky are more than revivalists; they have made the music vital by putting their own personal stamp on a distinct tradition of American music. It is a delight to see them return to the Rounder label with a collection of songs that beautifully display the range of their talents and the diversity of their repertoire." --Bill C. Malone (from his liner notes)

- "As they get older, Riders in the Sky sound more accomplished and, more importantly, they sound more sincere. Like any of the group's albums, Always Drink Upstream from the Herd combines standards with original material but the what makes it noteworthy is that sincerity — they still make jokes, but they can deliver the material more gracefully and skillfully than ever before, making it one of their most enjoyable efforts."
