Synopsis

Amazon.com

Like the quiet guy in the back of the bar who never seems to say or do much but always has a flock of pals about, Bill Staines does not make a quick and flashy impression. The folkie singer-songwriter croons about roads and landscapes, children and waitresses, in a sleepy tenor as he strums familiar chords. You really have to pay attention to appreciate the fresh clarity he brings to these well-worn topics and the low-key warmth he brings to those vocals. If you give Staines's album, Going to the West, the study it deserves, however, you may well end up agreeing with Nanci Griffith's effusive liner notes: "When I grow up," she writes, "I want to be Bill Staines." --Geoffrey Himes

CD Reviews

An essential for Bill Staines lovers. New songs from 'Old'

11/13/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Except for 'River' (Band 6), these are all new songs for Bill Statines. For those of us who have heard Bill for many years, the new songs show that he still is one of the finest folk masters in the game. The second cut (Child of Mine) is especially beautiful... A must!! He shows that he still has a wonderful voice and ability to tell beautiful stories. A Staines classic, with an older voice."
