Merle's Final Folk Gem
5 out of 5 stars

Even though it came from a digital source, this pressing is completely clean, no digital noise at all. Honestly, my M copy sounded incredibly quiet, powerful, and rich right out of the gate. Being Merle's final album and packed with a star-studded cast, it's a folk gem you'll want to keep close. That voice of Doc's on vinyl? Unforgettable.
Merle's Folk Treasure
5 out of 5 stars

This vinyl pressing, born from digital roots, is impressively free of any digital noise. My copy, on the M side, sounded incredibly quiet, dynamic, and deep right from the first play. As Merle's final album and boasting a stellar lineup, it's a folk treasure not to be missed. You won't soon forget Doc's voice on this vinyl.
