Billboard
"Guitar maestro McLaughlin has sometimes been labeled 'new age,' but his unique, restrained approach to fretboard playing as well as his eclectic original compositions defy categorization."

A personal favorite.......2006-05-04

As a Billy McLaughlin fan (You know who you are!) it's hard to be objective about his music. If you've seen him live, it's all five stars. Some have said his vocals leave something to be desired. For me listening to his vocals just adds to the experience, bringing tears to my eyes, the whole concert feeling. I can sing these songs. That makes them portable for me since I definitely can't play them on guitar. Thanks, Billy, for giving us some precious lyrics to carry with us. And yes, I remember the band. Each vocal or instrumental note on this album reminds me of great performances by great local artists in and around Minneapolis.

Billy McLaughlin is a great guitarist, although, in my opinion, not a very accomplished singer..keep up the fretwork Billy, instrumentals are great! Unfortunately there aren't many instrumentals here in this album..
