Simply masterful..... July 27, 2010
Mr. P. S. Rapaport (Manchester, England)
I confess that as a LWIII devotee I was worried when I read that his forthcoming double-CD was to be a biographical concept album - a homage to somebody I'd never even heard of, with CD1 consisting of songs written in the 1920s. Like most Loudon addicts, all I crave is more of his own fantastic songs. He has consistently proved himself to be the greatest American songwriter of the past 40 years, following Dylan's descent into tired, clichéd mediocrity back in the seventies.
And what a revelation this CD turns out to be - full of utterly absorbing, lovingly crafted songs and all beautifully packaged, complete with a mini-paperback including full lyrics and Charlie Poole biography. To anyone familiar with Loudon's music, it is clear to see why he recognises so much of himself in Poole.
Loudon's work just maintains that incredibly high standard. The latest in a long line of masterful albums. Superb.

VERY FINE RECORD FROM THE ENVELOPE TO THE MUSIC AND THE TECHNICAL RECORDING SUPERB SOUND
a long way from "dead skunk in the middle of the road" May 3, 2010
aunt-debber (Hendersonville, TN United States)
Playful, funny, beautiful harmonies, great voices, wonderful instrumentation... so many adjectives to describe the music in this CD. Reminds me of the South, simpler times & my Mississipi forebears. My favorite songs are: "Rowena", "Beautiful" and "The Man in The Moon".

It was 1976. I had a ticket to a Santana concert at USF Tampa, a show LW3 was to open, but he canceled due to the birth of daughter Martha. Caught his act at the 1984 Edinburgh Festival where he revealed a finer skill & flair than "Dead Skunk" might presume. Poole's tunes fit the LW3 style of cool folk and self-deprecating wit.
