This CD is a great example of an artist who continues to excel when you think he has reached his peak. Steve's voice seems to mellow with each album. I was first drawn to this album because of two songs that were co written by Steve and some friends of mine. "Cornstalk Pony" and "Windows of Heaven". But I would have purchased it for the song "Railroad Written All Over Him" anyway. The CD is full of strong lyrics interwoven with intricate melodies. I listen to it over and over again and never get tired of it.

I didn't know who Steve Gillette was, but picked this up on a whim on a $2 rack. Beautiful! Although I usually listen to classic country music, this album has great harmonies, wonderful songs and gorgeous music. My favorite cut is his version of the classic "Fast Freight", a song I loved in the old Kingston Trio days. Steve's interpretation is inspired... has a bit of the hunted desperado about it.

I'm seeking out his other albums!

I've played guitar & sang for 32 years. I saw Steve Gillette & his wife Cindy Mangsen sing on March 9 in Monterey CA. I was stunned.
