4.0 out of 5 stars First Mercury album - still finding their way, June 24, 2003

This was the first album the Statlers recorded after signing with Mercury records in 1970. It contains a mixture of covers done in their own style as well as a few originals. Although the title track is one of their signature songs; it is the haunting "Junkie's Prayer" that will knock your socks off.

This is a very listenable and enjoyable effort although it does not touch on the themes of faith and nostalgia that became their trademark in later years. Their two best 70's albums ("Carry Me Back" and "Originals") remain criminally unreissued.

Although this certainly is not the best album they ever recorded, it does provide an excellent showcase of a legendary act in their early years.

A good effort as the Statlers made the move from Cash's back up quartet to being independent. Not fond of "The Junkie's Prayer", but "Tomorrow Never Comes" and others songs are very good. Great that I could get this on CD. Hope they put more Statlers work on CD soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars it's calming and mellowing, yet makes you think...., December 31, 2000

while the music seems to have a calming effect, it's a bit unsetling also. as the movie goes along and you want to scream what's going to hapen, then cry when things aren't right, that's how this is. it make's the emotions flow. it's a great thing to listen to if you are in the mood. if you don't enjoy this type of music, then don't bother with this one.
