The Ferlinghetti kudos cue an "on the road" vibe before you even get it spinning -- all at once earthy, sophisticated and expansive -- brainy folk brimming with poignant observations on the human condition in all of its varietal splendor. Novel, probing song construction reminiscent of the best CSNY...insistently reclined upon the bigger pictures yet still astutely aware of each fine detail (a la the great Jimmie Spheeris)...a truly kaleidoscopic mosaic catalyzed by clear mastery of the genre's many beloved idioms. Love it!
