"I don't really know how to explain it, but when I listen to this CD, I feel like it is in perfect harmony with my soul."

"When I read the previous reviewer say that this CD was in perfect harmony with his soul, I just had to grin and nod my head. I can put this CD on and close my eyes, and the lushness of the music just transports me to a place where I feel my spirit is alive and all my worries disappear. Even better is to listen to it with headphones, so you can hear the precise and magical elements of each musical instrument. This is a wonderfully arranged composition of music that embodies the very essence of the wilderness and nature."
Some of the catchiest guitar music out there!

"Scott Moulton composes and plays some of the catchiest and most enjoyable acoustic guitar-based ensemble music out there and this album is, to my ears, his best effort. There is a lightness to these songs that perfectly captures the feeling of being outdoors in much the same way that Craig Chaquico's earliest music does, too. But, unlike Chaquico's abundant use of keyboards and more "oomph" to his guitar, Moulton's music is more "rural" in feel (but is never country-sounding). The uptempo numbers are perfect for "top-down" cruising down two-lane highways and even the relatively softer songs are not in the least bit "new agey." So, if you're looking for a "feel good" CD that never strays into "too sugary" territory and that features some real spirited acoustic guitar work, along with some top notch ensemble playing from guest musicians, this is one album to grab ahold of."
Peaceful and discriptive music of the Four Corners area.

"Wonderful mixture of music that absolutely represents the flavor of the country that it expresses. I love to revisit this music time and time again, and am each time, the music enables me to visualize the vibrant colors and the texture of the beautiful four corner areas."
