By The Outsider
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The renegade Mississippi songwriter crossed the Canadian border to escape the draft and was promptly discovered by the great Canadian, Robbie Robertson. This debut album, recorded by Todd Rundgren, produced by Robertson, features a great back-up band (including David Rea) and an ultra natural feeling. But it is the great songs, one after another, delivered by the vulnerable, haunting Winchester tenor that really hits you.
Who cares what else he recorded - Biloxi, Tennessee Waltz, Thats the Touch I Like, Yankee Lady - I mean, good God, this is a fabulous record. I wish Bob Dylan made a record this good in 1970, that's all I have to say. Not as good as the Band's second or even first album, but damned close. This is no period peace - it is one of the best records of that year. No kidding -buy it before it goes out of print again.

I loved this album when it came out in the 70's and it is still great . It has been remastered and the music is still so fresh and vibrant . My favourite track is ' Snow ' followed by ' Yankee Lady ' but all the tracks are good .

By Simon Turner
Format:Audio CD
Many of the songs here are embarrassing like a child pretending - with difficulty - to be an adult. Winchester's voice hasn't yet revealed itself to him yet either. These songs sound strained vocally, where when he didn't try as hard, he had a voice to easily rival that of Lowell George. There are brilliant songs to come but none of them are on this album. Third Down, 110 To Go is a far better album, and later albums like A Touch On The Rainy Side, Nothing But A Breeze and Gentleman of Leisure contain classics like A Showman's Life, Rhumba Man and I Wave Bye Bye.
