"All his experience informs the dusky, vaguely Beckish troubadour's latest CD, which finds him decorating his warm, colourfully detailed Americana narratives with lush strings, skittery beatboxes, noisy textures and experimental sonics. A seamless blend of old and new." Toronto Sun
"In a fair and just world, this sucker would be a career-making album...It all works and often in fascinating ways." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Weaver delivers a candid and organic album deep-rooted in folk with a wisdom bordering that of Lou Reed. The Ax in the Oak is an uncompromising raw legacy of both turmoil and redemption." The Sentimentalist
"The main benefit of Weaver and Deck’s open-minded approach is the tension generated within many of the songs between Weaver’s traditional sound and the colors brought in by this new instrumentation. All of this might make The Ax in the Oak sound like a stylistic exercise that’s better in theory than in practice, but the album’s actually one of Weaver’s most accessible efforts so far."
