This is a nice item to have in the old collection, but the logic behind mass-marketing it – and barely a year behind Whatever And Ever Amen, which is just starting to catch the momentum from “Brick”‘s airplay – is beyond me. It’s more like a fan club premium than anything else. Naked Baby Photos consists entirely of live tracks, previously unreleased studio sessions, and even a few outtakes where the band was just goofing around. It’s a fun listen, but in the end may distract buyers 
from the album which is bringing the band its bread and butter right now. The best actual songs are “Eddie Walker” and “Tom & Mary”, and the most fun on this CD can be found in the live sound-check-goof-off “For Those Of Y’All Who Wear Fannie Packs”, the band’s improvised ode to their roadies – it’s a rap parody that hits the mark almost too close!
