There are almost no words to describe how wonderfully this album has been written and recorded. Five stars certainly doesn't do it justice. Nor would ten.
Amongst a multitude of incredible session players (including a young Joni Mitchell and her future husband) Gordon Peterson proclaims his lyrics like a troubadour not matched before or since.
There is no hyperbole good enough for this rhythmically clever, crisp collection of tracks. At once mournful and celebratory of life, especially life in rural settings (consider the grinding wheel, the reference to harvests, and natural beauty), it's an album all should have, no matter what your musical preference. I listen to metal, rap and Indie, and this album is the best in my collection, and fits in none of these genres.
Sadly out of print, and therefore insanely overpriced by the Amazon marketplace hounds out to make a quick buck, it is nevertheless literally worth every penny.
Gordon, return to us and make another album. Even if you do not, your legacy far outweighs most artists, no matter how big their back-catalogues.
Thank you.

Although I appreciate Eddie Vedder resurrecting Hard Sun, I prefer the original version. Hopefully the popularity of this song will get this album re-released. A resell for $89 is ridiculous. Makes me think file sharing isn't such a bad thing.

I agree with what has been said already. One day home on the way home from work I heard one of the songs, Hard Sun, on the radio. Fortnately for me, I went out and got this CD back then.
Every song on this CD is a gift. So tasteful and unique. Gordon Peterson really had something...and then he and this wonderful band was like abducted by aliens. Its been years and I still check to see if anything has popped back up again. Like I was here yesterday at Amazon today. Really this is an amazing CD. If you ever see it...GRAB IT.
BTW...Joni Mitchell and her bass playing husband to be, are on this CD. I love Joni Mitchell. When I heard her singing back up, it was nice to know she was backing his band up in her own way too...
I will always wonder why the really good bands, the ones that can make a CD like this, get pushed out, and the bland and un-inspired get shoved in your faces everywhere.
I will keep checking though...some day..some day...Indio will return.

I've had this music for 14 years now, and it has never palled. Passionate and urgent rhythms, lyrics layered with rich images (no standard romance crap here!), and stirring guitar work. It's just such a wonderful album. Why it never made much of a splash can only be down to poor marketing. I wish Gordon Peterson would put something else out to complement this gem! You will not regret buying this album.

Gordon Peterson, where are you? Why only one album? And why is this one out of print? This is one of the greatest albums ever recorded!
