Simple and warm folk music that cherishes the subtleties of everyday life
A masterpiece that shines with exceptional songwriting, blending humor and melancholy.
Steve Goodman's light-hearted guitar work and familiar vocals are a delight. The lyrics, which capture the everyday lives of ordinary people with a warm gaze, gently touch the listener's heart. While there is no flashy production, this album is filled with the joy of making music and a deep human emotion, making it a record that can be said to be the conscience of folk music.
