I can't help but agree with guest, Gerry regarding one comment made by Chris. Why decide to stick to one theme for an entire album?Variety in music is a pleasure. It is, in my opinion one of the strenghts of Steve's CD. His original songs include empowering, thought provoking politcal issues. That's true. That doesn't mean he should throw out love songs, hobo songs, the blues and more. (I do love "See That My Grave is Kept Clean" as does Chris.) This may not be the most polished, perfectly mixed CD in folk history but the spirit of folk music comes across. Another strength of this CD is as Chris mentioned, Steve's ability to lead a bunch of friends in song. You can't miss this live or recorded.
Steve's been a musician for some time and it's likely that many, many Mudcatters have heard him or know him. I look forward to hearing other reponses to Now The Wheel Has Turned.
