OK - I'm biased but I would say that this is the best work that Kendall has produced and, having listened to other singer's versions of the songs, he can stand up to comparison without any problem.

Added to that the second half of the tape is a collection of his Maine stories, which are well worth listening to both for the content and his delivery. That makes this tape quite unique.

The tracks are:-

SONGS
The Three Legged Man
The Haying Song
Gently Down The Stream Of Time
Mrs Ravoon
Phoebe Snow (one of my favourites)
Palace Grand
Ashes On The Sea (Utah Phillips chose Kendall's recording of this song to put on his latest cd - Songbook)
The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Eric Bogle told Kendall that he had done this song in exactly the way he had meant it to be sung, unlike some other recordings)
Rolling Home

The spoken tracks are:-
The Big Family
Uriah Boardman - The Seagull
Uriah Boardman - The Pullman Car
Uriah Boardman - The Flower Show
The Dunbar Sisters - Two Old Maids
The Dunbar Sisters - Effie's Privy
Clyde and Maude Go Flying
Orrin Seavey's Accident
Beginner's Luck
