Mixed Feelings

(4 out of 5 stars)
""Cannons In The Rain" is one of John Stewart's early albums and I feel that it is still one of his best.If possible I would rate "Cannons In The Rain" at six stars.This CD has just about everything that is good about John Stewart.I feel that his voice is at its' best and the songs are earthy with a nice balance of insight and cynicism.I got hooked on "Anna On A Memory" the first time I heard it and I still play it again and again and again. I guess there must be some stray dog in me."Wingless Angel" is a different matter, it is good but seems to be incomplete.I never have been able to really get "into" this CD for some reason.To sum it up, I frequently play "Cannons In The Rain" and rarely
listen to "Wingless Angel".If these CDs were separate I would rate "Wingless Angel" at three stars."
