The Music Transports Me Home,
February 2, 2010 By J. Wactor (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not knowledgable about this genre. I've heard of but never listened to Jim Ward's 'Sparta' or 'At the Drive In' days. I stumbled across this album a month after its release, and something about this album felt like home; I live in Washington (and sometimes Iraq), but I was born and raised in Texas, and when I'm listeninging to to this album I feel like I'm being transported home. I couldn't explain to you how it sounds like Texas--except maybe the guitar twangs in 'Fences Down'.

Regardless of your hometown, it's a very comforting album, one with a lot of soul. Ward worked hard on an album that he knew would never gather as much attention after his previous works, but he was compelled to follow his heart, and that led him to record one of the most soothing albums I own.

Manzione is right; you've found a hidden gem.

Manzioneってのはもう一人のレヴュアー。hidden gemってのは、なんだ。
これ？

んでgemってのは手許にある英英辞書曰く"anything of great value or beauty, or that is much prized（略）"ってんでまあ。ああ、みたいな。いつかテキサスの飲み屋に行って俺このアルバムが好きだぜだから来たんだぜって言ってみたいな。
