Best Album You've Never Heard
Unfortunately for a while it was very difficult to find. This is such a wonderful album. Thankfully as Jack's popularity grew, so did the demand for them to bring back this album. Jack does a great job covering Jerry Jeff Walker's "My Old Man" and adds classics of his own such as "Still Got Scars," "One Light Town," "Beat Up Ford," "Crazy Like The Moon," and "Younger Days. " An album you can listent to over and over. If you are a lover of grat music get this and every other Jack Ingram album.


Asking the Right (Lonesome) Question
Still, Jack Ingram's music's meant for driving, and this easily overlooked record lends itself to just that. A solid record that slips through the cracks, maybe because some of the material appears again in his other recordings. Give it a closer listen, and you'll discover how the theme of restlessness sits behind most of Ingram's work. His characters are always on the move, driving through one light towns, looking for work, searching.

Life's mostly attitude and driving, he writes, and this record shows he believes it. The same guy who named his band after a beat-up Ford has the good sense to cover Jerry Jeff Walker's "My Old Man," and I believe this is one of Ingram's very finest songs and it's easily this record's highlight. When he sings, "My old man, had a rambling soul," you'll hear Jack Ingram at his best. Almost conversational, instrumentation subdued, something much like old Merle Haggard but still remarkably good on its own. Listening to this record on 441 through south Georgia, heading north through Fargo and Homerville and Douglas and Dublin, the miles and minutes flew past.
