This 1991 album mixes well-chosen covers with lively original ì compositions. Rory's soulful vocals and evocative acoustic ì guitar command attention throughout, both on their own (Robert ì Johnson's 'Terraplane Blues') and with accompaniment (Jerry ì Marotta's drum punctuations and Jorma Kaukonen's melancholy ì electric guitar moans on the title track). The disc ends on an ì upbeat note with an original gospel song, 'Sing Good News,' ì powered by piano, hand claps, and choir vocals.
