If you were lucky enough to stumble upon this page, I congratulate you. I first stumbled upon the songwriting of Rev Wilkins when I heard the Rolling Stones version of "Prodigal Son". I was instantly curious to hear his recordings. This album draws you into a simple, but very spiritual place and fills your heart with a tearfully happy peace. The Reverand's voice is very moving from the first track "Jesus said if you go" all the way through to the last track "In the Army of the Lord" (which happens to be a live track). His lyrics are rather simple, but reach right into your heart. An interesting track on the album is the nearly ten minute "Streamline 'Frisco Limited". In this track he uses his guitar to mimic the rhythm of a train and it's whistle blowing while he sings/tells a story. This collection of songs is both timeless and priceless. You can't find this type of music anymore. It is the sound of an old man that has seen many days pass playing his guitar on a front porch in the late afternoon. -- Amazon.
