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."
