From Mitch Jayne's liner notes:
"You'll find yourself listening to the guitar, of course, because Peter's style is the heart of it, but you are going to hear so much more. This is a musical trip through mountains, woods, and gold mines, to ridges, cliffs and lovely places you haven't seen as yet, that still somehow haunt your memory."

From Ron Thomason's liner notes:
"...Herein lies goosebumps, fantasy, projection, identification, peace, struggle, fear, hope, and--and this is the best part--comprehension. Robert Frost taught us that a good poem "teaches us things that we already knew." IF that's what poetry does for the intellect, then what Chris and Peter have done here does it for the soul."
