Unforgettable Lyrics, June 15, 1999
By A Customer
"Do La Lay," Winchester's ode to his first born child is my favorite on this album/CD. I say album, because I first heard the song in the early 1970s. My boyfriend at the time was a big fan of Jesse Winchester and we listened to his music constantly. After the passage of twenty-seven years, all I could remember of the song was Jesse's moving lyrics:"oh little child of love, I won't stand in your way" and his unforgettable voice in my head, but I found the CD title via his website and now can buy my own copy! Needless to say, Winchester's music has haunted me for nearly thirty years. Listen to it and you'll be smitten, too.

a classic, May 15, 2007
This review is from: Third Down 110 to Go (Audio CD)
One of the great singer-songwriter albums, with a much cleaner sound than on JW's debut (produced by Robbie Robertson) and a determined, against-the-odds optimism (as the title suggests). Some of the lyrics go over the edge into cute (the business about tickling the world's belly button), but not many. Jesse's voice is lovely. Note that Amazon's song list here leaves off the concluding song, All of Your Stories, which is definitely one of JW's most beautiful. And that's saying a lot.

OUTSTANDING MUSIC - JESSE WINCHESTER'S BEST, November 12, 2010
This review is from: Third Down 110 to Go (Audio CD)
I recently purchased five Jesse Winchester cds: the self-titled Jesse Winchester, Third Down, 110 To Go, The Best of, Humour Me, and Live from Mountain Stage. Having very much liked Jesse Winchester when I was younger, I eagerly awaited the reception of all 5 cds. Wow, was I surprised! After listening to all 5 cds, I found that only Third Down, 110 to Go had consistently excellent lyrics, vocals, and sound quality. The remainder of the 5 cds were flawed in one form or another and did not meet my high expectations for my cd collection. Now I'm the long-term owner of only one Jesse Winchester cd, Third Down, 110 To Go, and I can listen to Jesse Winchester at his very best. He has a beautiful voice, I very strongly recommend Third Down, 110 To Go to you.
John
