This recording contains come of the most beautiful harmonies I have ever heard. The songs are traditonal - some familiar, some not so, but the renditions are clear and thoughtfully produced. Some are mostly vocal, some instrumental, and others a delightful combination. Behind these recordings there is a distinct love of the music; some are joyful, some heartbreaking. You will not be disappointed by this record, and you are guaranteed to run the full gamut of emotions while listening.

This is a very nice collection of folk and other songs performed by, Ann Mayo Muir, Ed Trickett and Gordon Bok.

They draw upon their various backgrounds to excellent effect on most of the cuts on this disc, although there are a couple of cuts I don't prefer (and I hope I won't prejudice anyone by saying #8 and #9).

If you like robust, folk-y, music, this is a very nice collection.

A pleasant enough folk CD, with two exceptionally good songs: the title track, Turning Toward the Morning, and a great version of the traditional Three Score and Ten. Most of the songs are rather on the sad side, which isn't my first preference, but to be expected from folk music. Still, the CD has a nice sound to it, and the two songs I mentioned are definitely keepers. Of course, someone with more of a taste for softer, sadder songs, will enjoy this album even more.
