5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to the Preacher!!!!, April 19, 2004

An amazing talent and visionary, Preacher Boy is able to draw from the roots of American music without becoming a slave to it. All the usual comparisons to Dylan as a songwriter, or Tom Waits as a vocalist are superfluous - Preacher Boy stands alone. He is truly a refreshing and underappreciated artist. The haunting "Nehemiah James" alone makes this disc essential.

See you in 'Nawlins, Preach!

I only recently came across this album (already having all the previous Preacher Boy albums) & it's now constantly on the car stereo! For the first time the kids like one of 'my' records, and actually sing along to some of the songs (they love 'Whistleman'). This is just Preacher Boy (Chris Watkins) and his collection of old acoustic guitars, including a number of ancient resonators. The songs are fascinating stories and I keep finding something new every time I listen (just discovered the reason for the inner sleeve photo - it's an image from the lyric of 'Nehemiah James'!). If you want to sing along the go to his website for the written lyrics - man I WISH I could write & play like that. As far as I'm concerned there is not a bad track on this - wonderful: GO & BUY IT!! I'm itching for the next album!!
