Review by Ross Kingsley from Amazon.com:

"Not a lot to say about this album. Peter Rowan is one of the best folk artists out there, and this is, in this reviewer's humble opinion, his very best album. It showcases his talent for melody with an acoustic guitar coupled with both beautiful and stark images to create a concept album aimed at the dust bowl days of the midwest long ago. The songs tell both sad and gripping stories about things that did, and might have, happened in those times. 'Little Mother' and 'Barefoot Country Road' are my favorites along with the title track. If you like Nanci Griffith, Richard Shindell, or John Gorka, you'll like this album. Two thumbs up! "
