Lullaby for the Working Class: Lullabies From Wide Open Skies
Nick Hasted, Independent, The, 19 December 1997
Nebraska's Lullaby for the Working Class's unusual country-influenced music comes complete with religious imagery, Tolstoy, and the loneliness of their home state. Nick Hasted met the band, and found they're part of a great American musical lineage.
