If Not Now, Who?
by Joe K. Walsh
supported by 12 fans who also own “Walk Along John to Kansas”
Everything about this wonderful recording works beautifully! The writing is fun and adventurous without being pretentious or contrived, the musicianship is awe-inspiring ... every single note is played with gravity, intention and purpose and the whole thing is a joy-filled experience for both the ears and soul. In the time since Joe released "Borderland" I'd convinced myself that I couldn't possibly love his music more. Along comes "If Not Now, Who?", and I stand corrected.

This is just absolutely beautifully arranged instrumental ...bluegrass? Which is sooo hard to find. The instrumentation is lush and the attention to detail exacting. Possibly my favorite find this year. So hard to pick a favorite track.
