I'll readily admit that I have never been a fan of country music but this band sweetened me up to it real quick! There is a magical mixture going on with The Desert Rose Band. The lyrics are great, vocals sweet, and the tunes get stuck in your head. Chris Hillman does have a very nice voice and the great back ground vocals provided by John Jorgenson and Bill Bryson add the finishing touches.

Two of the songs on this album 'Time Between' and 'Hard Times' have the most amazing mandolin parts, thanks to John Jorgenson, what a fantasitic sound! The song 'Once More' is done beautifully too with sweet vocal harmonies.

Country music fans as well as plain old music fans(like me)won't be disappointed by this great work by The Desert Rose Band. ENJOY!!

The first album from the Desert Rose Band is a true classic that should be heard by everyone who calls themselves a country music fan. The harmonies of Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson are spot on and John Jorgenson's guitar and mandolin playing are one of the best in the music industry.

This is oustanding in every sense! Music, song writing, lyrics, harmony! Please listen and understand greatness! A trophy amongst albums...Sweethearts of the rodeo take two!! thanks guys!

This album is one the best ever albums. This is just magical since none of their other work is anywhere near this good.

This C.D. by the Desert Rose Band is great. "Once More" is my favorite song (great harmony).

HIghly recommended - a real joy to listen to. Great driving music. There are no songs to skip over on this one.

One Step Forward - Five stars. Fast tempo. Enjoy a fine solo by John Jorgenson. My favorite song on the album

Love Reunited - Five stars. Fast tempo again. Great lyrics.

He's Back and I'm Blue - Five stars. Slower paced. I'm not familiar with the original.

Leave This Town - Four stars. Mid tempo. Good lyrics about a guy who is leaving town because his wife (?) has been unfaithful.

Time Between - Five stars. Not great lyrics but musically wonderful.

Ashes of Love - Five stars. Fast tempo. Musical perfection.

One that Got Away - Five stars. Mid-tempo. Great hooks in this one.

Once More = Four stars. Slow tempo. Sort of schmaltzy lyrics but I like it.

Glass Hearts - Five stars. Fast tempo.

Hard Times - Five stars. Fast tempo. Excellent music and lyrics. My second favorite song on the album.

If you like basic Country Rock by some talented musicians from the 70s and '80s, you'll like this.

Chris Hillman,Herb Petersen,and the boys get a 100% Approval rating on any country package that these enlightened gentlemen in the country music industry can compile!!! My favorites as a 18 Year old radio personality for Hit Country 100.5 WWKI-FM in Kokomo,Indiana. In 1988,this Desert Rose Band sang country hits "She Don't Love Nobody","Hello Trouble",I Still Believe In You",Summer Wind,One Step Forward, In Another Lifetime,and last but not least "Our Baby's Gone"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
