"This was the album that set me on the road to becoming a musican. From the funky swing of "My Blue Eyed Jane" to the unforgettable "leaving London" this is probably the best album Doc ever recorded. I bought this CD (back when I got my first copy it was a cassette) and two weeks later I was on the back steps with a guitar I had pulled out of a trash can and put back together with duck tape! It hit me that hard. If you are looking for more of Docs "Deep Gap" sond you may want to look elsewhere- this is more of a patchwork of styles than a traditional old time album. Get it, it's great stuf!"
