❝ First-rate guitarist, unmatched in the rendition (both vocal and instrumental) of the old-time melodies of the Southern States (particularly Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama), a skilled multi-instrumentalist (fiddle, mandolin, dobro, and banjo are the other instruments he handles with ease), and a highly acclaimed songwriter, Norman Blake can boast a discography as rich as it is unknown, due to the objective distance of his entire repertoire from the tastes of the average Italian listener.
❝ Recorded entirely on December 30, 1971 at Glaser Sound Studios in Nashville, Norman Blake's first solo album followed the same fate as many debut works by other great artists: excellent critical acclaim in qualitative terms, sales barely above zero.
❝ In his second solo album, Norman Blake indeed immerses himself entirely in composition, gifting us, for the first (and I believe only) time, a work devoid of traditionals and entirely dedicated to his original pieces.
❝ yet every time these words and this music visit me, they invariably bring the (much appreciated) gift of tears and goosebumps.
