The energy that John McCutcheon and band bring to this powerful collection of all-new songs is amazing. Marking several milestones (his 50th birthday, 30 years in music and his first CD on a new label), the songs deliver powerfully concise observations on where we’ve been, where we are and where we are going. Blending rock colorations with acoustic sensibilities, this project has a refreshing and cohesive integrity. TIM O’BRIEN and Australian KERRIANNE COX make guest appearances and John’s gift for weaving astute commentary with crisp song writing and instrumental expertise is manifest through out the CD.
