That's a great one. His strongest work, if you ask me; an unusually powerful album that works really well, almost as a concept album. Much thanks to the excellent band on this outing: not just some studio musicians doing a bunch of nice tunes but more like a real working band contributing to the consistent touch and a uniform feel throughout the different pieces. Among his more serious and cohesive recordings for sure, with a very distinct tone.I've seen him in action in both upstate New York and in Helsinki, and there's almost no one to compare him with, as an act and as an all-round musician and simply a great guy. Only David Bromberg. The twin peaks of American music!
They should be more on our musical map.
