Still My Favorate John Stewart Album.......2006-02-24

I bought this album back it 1971 and loved every song. Wild Horse Road and Wild Horses are my all time favorite John Stewart songs. If you haven't heard these two songs, buy this cd, you won't be sorry. I'm so glad the the Lonesome Picker Rides Again has been released on cd. Now I can listen to it again without all the LP popping sounds. Some wonderful music you don't here everyday on the radio everyday.

Wolves in the Kitchen.......2005-10-22

When Dave Guard left the Kingston Trio some 40+ years ago,an unknown singer-songwriter named John Stewart took his place.It didn't take long for diehard KT fans to realize John's gifts.Then in the late 60's John began performing at clubs in the Los Angeles area,like The Ice House,The Troubador and others.He penned such hits as California Bloodlines,Daydream Believer,and much later his biggest radio hit,Gold with Stevie Nicks. Lonesome Picker Rides Again had the great rockin' song,Wolves in the Kitchen.Great lyrics & beat.Many other songs on the album became cult favorites too,but Wolves remains one of my faves some 45 years later! If you know JS and his music,you know of what I speak,if you don't,buy this CD and Cannons In The Rain or the Phoenix Concert CD to get started on a great journey!

Some excellent Stewart here.......2005-07-29

While many of us old people still smile when we hear the Kingston Trio, which John Stewart sang with after the departure of Dave Guard, I think most of us would admit his best work came after he left the Trio. The recent re-issuing of some of his early work will, hopefully, acquaint a new generation with one of our most unappreciated but best singer-songwriters. With roots in rock and folk, Stewart's music is poetry in the best sense of the word. His range includes melancholy (Wild Horse Road) to hard thumping (Wolves in the Kitchen). At this writing, sample tracks were not available (come on, Amazon! ;} ) but listeners who take a leap of blind faith and buy this CD or who otherwise manage to hear some of Stewart's music will discover there is a treasure trove of his work out there - I strongly recommend the Phoenix Concerts CD but there is no such thing as a weak John Stewart album.

masterful and effortless.......2005-02-02

Nothing that John Stewart touches is "average." The guy doesn't have an average bone in his body. The Lonesome Picker Rides Again is another celebrated release to add to your collection of Americana. Time has been unable to tarnish the Lonesome Picker. The musicianship is masterful and effortless, and the lyrics are as relevant today as they were in 1971. And they will be just as valid 30-years from today.

`Just An Old Love Song' applauds uncontrollable teenagers. You may discover the end of life's road in `The Road Shines Bright.' If you're stuck in a dead-end job (or a dead-end life) try `Touch Of The Sun.' `Bolinas' is an idealized town which existed "when the world was spinning a song." John wrestles with commitment and freedom in `Freeway Pleasure.' `Little Road And A Stone To Roll' is a sunny relief from bumper-to-bumper traffic during the morning commute? And there's lovely girl that puts her heart before her head in `Crazy'. The Lonesome Picker holds its most moving and rewarding work until last. `Wild Horse Road' and `All The Brave Horses' are about the small and unrecognized heroic acts which each of us perform every day.

Not Just For Folkies.......2000-06-17

I'm not a particular fan of "folk" music, but I sure LOVE this album. Wolves in the Kitchen rocks harder than any AC/DC song ever has. The "70's John" at his best. A much better album than its Warner Bros. sister, "Sunstorm". Johnny, we let you down. Worth the money just to hear Wolves, Freeway Pleasure and Touch of the Sun.

john stewart keeps folk music alive!.......2000-01-27

the music and it's meaning is as fresh and original today as 20 years ago. anyone that loves folk music will find this cd a must for their collection. I've worn out three copies of the album and was afraid these songs were lost forever.
