Album Notes

Jim Wurster's Music is embedded with character and a singular vocal and guitar style that serve as extensions of the man, calling to mind a New Wave Dylan.
In fact, "Angelique" is a wildly progressive Dylan-like tune before it lands smack-dab in the middle of an Appalachian square-dancing number called "Yellow Roses." The band stays in the background pretty much except for standout cameos. "if Not Forever is a solo acoustic number that gets an added poignant sting from the steel guitar of Bob Wlos. Pete Cambell shines on guitar throughout the Neil Young cover "Cowgirl in the Sand" and a nod to '60s surf-rock arises in "Little Bit Kind." But, Wurster seems more at home when pared down to his most naked as in Grey Sky Day" with lines like "ache in my side, hole in my shoes / gun at my head with a bullet meant for you. - Bing Futch
