It makes me shake and shiver
To see the hoar frost quiver
On aspen near the river
South Saskatchewan
The snowgoose turns to say
We’re a long, long way to Galveston
The factory steam it billows
To mile-high poison pillows
We wander through the willows
And down the icy shore
It’s then you turn to say
“We’re a long, long way from Hudson Bay”
Where the Sage and Sharp-tailed Grouses
Used to look for spouses
There’s a row of new-made houses
Going up for sale
Says the magpie to a mule deer
I suppose they’ll build a school here pretty soon
We crest the river ridges
See the city which is
Made of trestle bridges
And traffic lights a-glow
It’s then you turn to say
We’re a long, long way from yesterday

As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
Sweet harmonies & strummed melodies; the duo delve into decades-old folk, jazz, and country to find a timeless kind of love and connection. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2018

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
