Rolling Stone raited this album with 5 stars!.......2001-12-07
At his most effective, Joel Zoss seems to meditate on the haunting and fatalistic ambiguity of American folk music. An idiosyncratic and romantic singer/songwriter, he borrows from strength-a melody here, a phrase or two there-until the best of his work fuses the Jungian timelessness of a national dream with a quixotic personal vision so oblique and up-to-date it provokes all of the philosophical questions but none of the answers.
"I Gave My Love a Candle," "Too Long at the Fair," "Charlie's Friends" and "Sarah's Song" follow the heroic path of the spiritual gambler, the outcome of whose excessive quest is never in doubt. Zoss is a master at conveying cosmic doom-a melodic Montgomery Clift, if you will-and when he learns to control his musical and emotional repetitiveness, he could be an important artist. (RS 208)
