If I am going to be down all day, I’m bringing all of you with me. Sickness, disappointment and sadness continue to take their toll on me. Maybe after listening to this you’ll get it. Ha!

“Rural folk weeper with an unnerving tortured feel like Bobb Trimble. Vocally, he resembles John Denver, with some oversinging thrown in for good measure. The highlights are: “Angels Don’t Need Friends”, an amazing downer track where he breaks down crying, and “Babe Is It Easy” which continues the crying theme and adds running water and a music box to the mix. There’s also some creepy sounding xylophone in places. There are two cover variants. On one the opening for the record faces the spine, on the other it is at the outside edge. The insert reads: “I’m no longer afraid to admit I’m an insane animal”.
Right down to the ink drawing of the faceless guy on the cover, this is an obscure singer-songwriter classic, which actually managed to exceed my already high expectations when I finally got myself a copy. I mean, I knew there was going to be a bit with the guy actually bursting into tears, but for some reason I imagined he’d be gently sobbing in his handkerchief rather than howling loudly in the microphone as if something really, really went bad, which is actually what he does here. This sounds kinda ugly – not a pleasant listen by any means, but on the other hand, it gives the album a sense of unsurpassed sincerity, as if, you know, he really opens his soul to the listener. So, I’d say this is worth having for just this feeling alone, but musically the album is a winner too – the melodies are excellent, the vocals are superb and haunting even when he’s not crying, and the sparse arrangements really work. Huge thumbs up!” – Bill Clint (vocals, guitar), Russell Dahneke (guitar), Bob Stern (bass) (all strings on “Faces”), Kenny Stover (Keyboards), Jim Anderson (drums)
