"I had had this performance on a high quality stereo bootleg called "Country Bump" since the mid seventies and had enjoyed it immensely and played it often.
It turns out it was a private performance for CBS executives and promotional people. Poco was out to impress with their replacement for Jim Messina, Paul Cotton. They don't disappoint. The performance is high octane Poco showcasing, at the time, new, as well as, older material. Showing that the band had not lost a step.
Imagine my surprise when it shows up on an official CD! Needless to say I purchased it right away. It remains in my collection to this day."

"I love this CD a lot more than I thought I would. It is clean, smooth, excellent sound, super professional musicianship. Somewhere on the softer side of jazz/Rock fusion. Let's call it "New Age/Jazz fusion". Highly recommended to all who appreciate great recording techniques married to professional musicianship in either the New Age or Jazz Genres'..."

"As usual Mouskouri sounds wonderful. I do prefer her studio singing without the audience reaction, but in this case most of the reaction is quite secondary. There were a couple of pieces that I thought weren't appropriate, especially L'Enfant au Tambour, but maybe that is because I don't like it. It will stay on my "play regularly" shelf."

"Among the ~2000 albums in my collection, this album by Will T. Massey is among the treasured, and I consider among the best. The musicians include Roy Bittan from the E Street Band and Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers.
But what sets this album apart from most any others in my collection are the deep lyrics, ones that stay with you over time. To wit, from "Bravery to Weep":
Everyone's asking where you going and when
so your laughing and passing
the pain of where you've been
yeah you packed up your past
put your memories on a train
but they ride a circular track, now darling
they'll be back again
Many of the songs are of loss: of self ("I Ain't Here"), of relationships ("You Take the Town"), and of life ("Summertime Graveyard"), but the songs are also wonderful, lyrical musings on what is important in life, and isn't that what music is all about?
If you dig into the life story of Will T. Massey, you will also realize that you likely won't be hearing from him much again, making this album even more valuable.
Highly, highly recommended."

"Just a few words to describe a very pleasant recording -- the musician is a solo pianist, first, and the music is pleasant, even soothing. Some tracks include washes of strings, or a subtle accompaniment by another instrument, such as English Horn. There are no vocals.
Here are the names of each composition:
1 All Creatures Of Our God And King
2 Jesus, The Very Thought Of Thee
3 Love One Another
4 All Glory, Laud, And Honor
5 If You Could Hie To Kolob
6 I Need Thee Every Hour
7 Come, Ye Children Of The Lord
8 The Spirit Of God
9 Our Savior's Love
10 Praise To The Lord, The Almighty
11 Lead, Kindly Light
1997 from Deseret Book Company.

"This is a spoken word CD, sometimes miscategorized as a comedy disc. There are parts that contain humor, but this is more accurately a heartfelt narrative of the Hispanic-American experience in inner Los Angeles -- performance art, really. Hard to find now on CD, a few copies circulate on occasion on cassette."

"from Amazon 5.0 out of 5 stars DREAMLIKE MUSIC THAT ACCOMPANIES THE BOOK BY THE SAME TITLE ! ! !
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018
GREAT alternative music CD, especially if you have read Rich Shapero's book, titled "ARMS From the SEA-A Novel" - that's why this CD has been titled:ARMS from the SEA-The Music". Especially makes great background music, if you are reading, studying or just feeling like grooving to the music. I presume that Rich Shapero has done the music with Orenda Fink singing the songs - both very talented and musical. The more often you play this CD, the better it gets ! ! !"

"If you like complex orchestral numbers that lean on Indian instruments and (more traditional) influences, you might enjoy this album. If you like music that intrigues but doesn't require you to fixate on, this might be an album you will enjoy. Fans of Anoushka Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, Jai Uttal, Krishna Das etc might also enjoy this....If this electronica/orchestral project of composers Garry Hughes and Andrew T. Mackay catches your fancy, they have other albums to try as well.
Recommended."

"I never got this “guitar god”. I don’t play guitar so that doesn’t help. Believe me I tried over the years, being exposed in high school and college. This collection only underlines my problems with this dude. He writes some average pop songs and makes blues and R&B sound soulless. He’s also a rascist so that doesn’t help either. Check out JJ Cale for a better version of this kind of stuff."

"Psychedelia now!
From the first song you are invited along on a modern rock (20teen) trip through Alice's looking glass. While sounding decidedly 60s psychedelic, there's no one influence I can put the finger on. It's their own version of a new paisley underground."

"This edition includes a bonus cut (#11, "Garibe - Watching Over Me" -- which is a duet between Halla Bassam, Iraq, and Rickie Lee Jones, USA) -- not available on the original gatefold CD.
An astounding array of world class vocalists contribute to this incredibly peaceful disc, including Eddi Reader (Scotland), Anisette (Denmark), Nina Hagen (Germany), Lila Downs (Mexico), Mahsa and Marjan Vahdat (Iran), Sarah Jane Morris (UK), Kari Bremnes (Norway), Sevara Nazarkhsan (Uzbekstan), and Eva Dahlgren (Sweden)."
