tradition since John Prine", possessing a political outlook in songs that are nonetheless "personal, their overriding theme the emotional dislocations of working far from home." While identifying Kahn's asset as living among ordinary people rather than the folk subculture, the critic credited Kahn's "understated colloquial precision" and concluded that, "some will consider the all-acoustic music thin (it's often solo or duet, twice a cappella) and the voice quavery. I find that both evoke the mountain music of the '20s in a way that makes me long for home myself, and I'm from Queens." On his later albums, Aragon Mill - The Bluegrass Sessions and It's A Dog's Life, he collaborated with the German bluegrass band The Looping Brothers, founded by Ulrich Sieker and Matthias Malcher – two of Europe's best known and awarded blugrass musicians since the 1970s. Kahn himself initiated and featured both albums and joined promotion-touring in Europe as well as the United States. The latest album, It's A Dog's Life (2019) "includes ten previously unrecorded Kahn compositions and features his vocals on three of the thirteen tracks. Those include “Government on Horseback," the first single, where Kahn revives an unrecorded song from 1981.".
