"I first heard A cut from the CD on a Tampa FL Public Service Radio Station. That was the first time I listened to any of Jimmy's music. This is a wonderful CD. Cafe in the rain (Track 4) is One of the highlight cuts. Buy This CD! You will not be disappointed"

Wonderful music, universally appealing!

"After a heavy night out, I woke up surprisingly early and I don't know why, but felt like listening to Highway Trance. Back in my native home after many years abroad, I have not listened to this CD in 10 years but I have never forgotten how good it is.

I remember how I was browsing in the local record shop back in '94 or '95 and purely by chance saw this. Never heard of the guy, which is logical because apparently this is his first CD but gut feeling told me this was worth buying. I never listen to country or folk rock or how you would call this genre but I remember I listened to it over and over again, leafing through the booklet because the lyrics are pure poetry! There is a nice photo of young Jimmy, 3 yrs old, in his first little car and you see the love and care that has crept into this music.

Uptempo songs are alternated with some of the most memorable and beautiful ballads. And what a beautiful voice he has!

Now listening to it after such a long time, it makes me more than a little bit nostalgic. "You're always to remember her dark dancing eyes"; in the past decade I've lost too many people dear to me, but I'm glad Jimmy LaFave seems to be doing well and has released 6 more records since then. They are already in my basket because I'm curious to find out which road he has taken.

"We could wake in the morning

Make it new again

Me and you again"
