"I've never been what you call a blugrass fan (maby I'm still not) but this artist has gotten me hooked. Last week I was driving up route 71 in North Carolina - I'm from NJ - and while scanning the am stations i came across this great song "wild geese cry again" and i became hooked. Pulled over and wrote the title down, came here and searched. I am now one happy pup. This song is a classic. Buy you WILL enjoy!"

"Its good but dont expect anything but bluegrass. Peter Rowan usually shakes things up a bit, whether its his debut self titled album (which has a southwestern feel and is pretty laid back) or his 1982 bluegrass album "Walls of Time" (in which he incorporates some great country and pop music ideas into original and trad songs) or that stupid (to me) reggae-billy bull he did later in his career. Just wanted to let you know that this album is a tradish sounding bluegrass album. Still, all the songs are penned by Rowan, so thats pretty cool."
This gets 5 stars

"for "Wild Geese Cry Again" alone (and the rest of the CD is pretty good, too):I hear drumbeats on the watchtower
My long journey's at an end
Autumn leaves blow on the border
I hear wild geese cry again.Wow. This is pure poetry/Bluegrass mastery from some old hands. Check out in particular the fiddle of Richard Greene."
