Lyle Lovett's doppelganger

"Long before the Long Tall Texan copped big league cred as a smart, funny, courtly, intelligent singer-songwriter, Memphis' Jesse Winchester set a really high bar on rootsy Southern music. I still remember soaking up his debut album in my dorm room, and after graduation I eagerly sought each of the succeeding albums from this overlooked master. A conscientious objector who observed life from exile in Montreal, he may have missed the singer-songwriter boom of the '70s, but not for any lack in quality. This was his third album, mixing his own great songs with the first songs from Russell Smith, another neglected Southern master, who made some great, now unavailable records with the Amazing Rhythm Aces."

"I have loved Jesse's Winchester's work for years. This is a good example of it, though many of his other albums outshine it."
