Jesse was "quiet about" his refusal to participate in the Viet Nam war and his opposition not just to war but to human folly. He was "quiet about" his sense of the sacred and the spiritual in his songs. He was "quiet about" his wry wit that could commingle humor and pathos into powerful statements. Whether you are a huge fan of Jesse Winchester or you have never heard of him, this is an album worth having both as a wonderful tribute to a gentle giant who just recently crossed over to "The Far Side Bank of Jordan," and as a brilliant collection in its own right.

Had honey-voiced Jesse Winchester been able to tour the States to promote this incredible folk-rock set, he might’ve become a household name. He avoided the Vietnam War by trading Louisiana for Canada. The songs brim with nuanced themes, from anti-war sentiments to tender heart plays. There are shambolic shuffles ( Payday ), Southern yearns ( Biloxi, Yankee Lady, The Brand New Tennessee Waltz ), and strangely uplifting Northern downers ( Snow, Quiet About It ).
