This, in my opinion, the best album so far by Philip is a prime example of his powerful songwriting skills. At times forceful, at others moving but all very much brilliantly crafted in a contemporary folk style. It's strong roots lie in the last 50 years of folk, with strong politics (personal and societal) and a story-telling form that's warm and familiar without ever being shmaltzy...If you don't know Mr. Cockerham by now then you soon will...He's gonna be one of our best known folkies before long. Highly Recommended.
