"Allan Chapman left Nashville before they stole his soul... this CD is proof of that. No frills production, just the bare essentials - a voice, one or two instruments, nothing to get between you and the story. And what stories he tells... You connect with the characters... This is the way music is supposed to be." Jim Jones - Author "Allan, this works. I played it again today... Lucious... Warm... Thick... Big... Haunting... Effortless... Well stated... Tasteful... Truth... Real... We fixed the broken bones but left the scars." - Steve Browne - Producer "This whole collection of story songs is mesmerizing. I love how he used simple acoustic instruments to build a atmosphere of the old and new West. His characters are timeless." - Lee Charmichael
