First time I heard this Arizona progressive country rock private press resulted in a jawdrop of silence. Not a shabby cut on here, with several stretching out into exceptional. 'Exit-Glory Road' for instance opens the album with a classic artsy progressive hard rock guitar overture. Several middle-ground rural acoustic songs follow bringing to mind the music of Horizon, The Way, and Sons Unto Glory. Greg Williams delivers some brilliant acoustic and electric guitar solos throughout. Other instruments include harmonica and and string synthesizer. 'Which Way To Go' and the hillbilly 'Sing And Shout' supply pure country rock moods. On the quieter side are a pair of dreamy soft-psych tracks: 'Straight Gate' delicately utilizes flute and reverse guitars for an other-worldly texture, while the equally mesmerizing mostly-acoustic 'New Jerusalem' achieves a similar effect with trippy synths and wah-wah guitar. 'Horizon' closes the album with another impressive buildup of electric guitar. Several songs written/co-written by Bernie Rolfe, who also directed the project. (Ken Scott - Archivist )
