5.0 out of 5 stars Jimmy Rankin is still a purveyor of the craft of songwriting, March 20, 2005

Different than 1st solo album, `Song Dog'. Took a few listens to decide which songs truly resonated. If you're reading this & haven't heard any of his solo work, this album musically conjures up the following artists (in no particular order): Alison Krauss & Union Station (w/ male tenor instead of female lead), Fleetwood Mac, Keith Whitley, James Taylor, Gram Parsons, Steve Earle and John Denver. In the end, this honest effort of an album has become a favorite and is especially good for long road trips. Only regret is that he does not get more airplay in the U.S.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor, February 2, 2004

This review is from: Handmade (Audio CD)

This cd is a very slow,boring recording from a very good singer songwriter. Jimmy Rankin is a great talent but he has seemed to lose his way on this recording.There are a couple of good songs Handmade,Sweet Wheels and Morning Bound Train are good but not what we expect from Jimmy. Stay the second song on the cd is mournful and just a terrible song. All in all if you want to hear great Jimmy Rankin pick up Song Dog his first solo cd. It is a much more solid effort and really shows off his songwriting ability.Hopefully Jimmy will get back on track with cd number 3.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Canada's most under-rated songwriters, January 13, 2004

I discovered Jimmy Rankin earlier this year. I saw a video of his on TV and picked up his first CD on a whim and it has barely left my stereo since then. There is something quite fine about this musician and his songwriting...If you are thinking The Rankins, don't. This is way beyond that. Mind you, so far I have liked his first CD more than the second, but the haunting 'Colorado' is as fine a song as you will ever hear.
