American Songwriter released it's list of Top 50 Albums of 2012, with 3 Pears coming in at #18!
In a glowing review of the album, American Songwriter went on to say "Seven years is a long time between albums of original material, but Yoakam’s return to old label Warner Brothers was a thrilling, unqualified success. His new songs beautifully navigate the fertile territory between Rubber Soul pop, Byrds’ styled country and the reverbed Bakersfield twang that has always been a mainstay of his sound."
