It's hard to argue with the praise that's already been given to this recording. It's very cool stuff. I'm a little indifferent towards the vocal tracks at the moment, but there are only 3 of those.
My biggest complaint would have to be with the packaging. I guess that the pouches that some reviews have mentioned are no longer available since my disc came in a slim-line jewel case with an insert. It just looks cheap and I hate putting cases with blank spines on my CD shelf.
My whining aside, this is a worthwhile recording.

Country & Eastern
author: Wendy Collings
Desert music - sounds for wide open spaces, blazing sun, sweat in the saddle, red earth, bare rock and bleached bones ... cattle, camel or kangaroo bones? ... deserts without borders, east and west; cowboys, bedouins and nomads at the campfire.

I found this disc through cdbaby.com and I was thoroughly knocked down by it. The haunting melodies of this disc conjure up the Wild West with all it's bloodshed, big skies, Cowboys, raucusness, and wide open prairies. To me, the display of the writing virtuosity that Mr. Mechlem displays by his music makes me glad I am part of the human race where art can be understood as a palpable need for living life. I will be watching and listening for more material from this man. But for now I will enjoy the Haight Gang.
Thank you Mr. Mechlem
