"I went on vacation with my friend Susie this past September and she introduced me to Eric Bogle's music. I will be eternally grateful to her. Eric's music becomes very personal the moment you hear it. I guess he could sing about anything - the songs here cover such subjects as child abuse, losing a child, September 11th, and the death of the horses of the Light Brigade. Eric has a sort of wide wale courdoroy voice - - like velvet with a rough edge. My very favorite song on here is Cradle to the Grave, but I swear, there isn't a bad one on the CD."
