Best album of '71 we never got to hear.

"I bought this album after Smither's excellent "Train Home" and it's like seeing a new black belt in his first tournament after you've seen him as grand master. It's very good, "Train Home" is great."

The LP that made me a fan...way back then...

"I picked up this LP when it was first released [worked in the Record Industry back then] and immediately fell in love with it.



If you love alt folk/blues at its best, you'll love Chris and his interpretation of it. Not a mediocre cut on this LP/CD. Everything an A or A+.



If you're familair w/ the Grateful Deads' "Friend Of the Devil" or Rolling Stones' "No Expectations", Chris' versions will blow you away.

I was a huge fan of both of the aforementioned bands and their Glory Years [60's] and couldn't believe either tune could ever be covered as an equal or even better.



Wrong! Chris did it! Amazing feat, I say!



It's like the Fairport Convention covering American Folk/Alt Country/Cosmic American. They not only did it, but better IMHO."
