Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars always as good as the one before.......2004-12-21

The title song is exactly right. When you've played out your string, you do want to go back to the land. The theme repeats at the end, with a tune about a man lost in a crowd and looking for the exit and some fresh air. A security man recognizes from his accent that he's a Maine man, "not far from the Exit door, but a long way from home." Bok may go a long way from home, but he's never far from his roots. This album includes some exotic tunes, but well rooted in the accents of Maine. Solid.
