Title: I know the place of which he speaks so profoundly...
Review: If you like songs that actually deliver a lyric punch with a backdrop that is quintessentially Americana, then I strongly recommend Human Wilderness. A close listen will certainly reward. Its always a good idea to look at our culture through the watchful eye of the poet. Of course Dylan and Springstein have revealed much, but Jeff Smith takes a look at that wilderness often overlooked - the middle size American town where their creative people are treated like freaks at worst, and polyannas at best. In towns like these the underlying inferiority complex of its people can crush a budding local artist with an attitude like " ...can't be much good if they're from around here". Jeff has definitely benefitted from getting out of town. As for the music, it works as a perfect ally to create what is simply music you need to hear. This is good stuff.
