Dixon's CD is impressive. It's a little more reflective and thoughtful
than some of his earlier work - while it's certainly tuneful and
engaging, it's less of a hookfest than you might be used to. But it's
one of those discs that gets richer and richer with each listen.
After listening to it 30 or 40 times, I'm about convinced it's one of
his two or three best...

"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns
with the lights shining sideways when the night is down,
or going in strange places with a dog nosing before you
and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to the cities where
you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in every
shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty,
hungry stomach failing from your heart."
