Reception

Writing for The Sunday Times, Stewart Lee reviewed a 2014 re-release of this album and the 1972 live release Kabuki Wuki on CD, calling Born in Mississippi, Raised Up in Tennessee a "set marred by massed horns and backing vocalists, but sporting the superb nine minute 'How Many More Years You Gonna Dog Me ‘Round?'".
