Time Stands Still - Premium Wall Clock for Home & Office Decor | Perfect for Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen & Workspace

I've been following Chris since his days on the Poppy label. I missed him when alcohol took over his life. I welcomed him back when he started recording again. I saw Chris a few years back when 40 Acres brought him to Chapel Hill. He signed a CD for my wife. We both loved watching him, just Chris & his guitar. My wife's moved on to the great song in the sky, but I'm still spinning Chris' discs. "Old Man Down" is a sad & powerful lament about the passing of a parent, "It's light, but it's way too heavy now." I frequently still spin Emmylou Harris' recording of Chris' song "Slow Surprise" on The Horse Whisperer: Songs From and Inspired by the Motion Picture. From "Slow Surprise" to "Surprise Surprise" on this disc, it is one of my favorites with David Goodrich's electric guitar giving the song punch, "It's the coil of common problems. Don't bet the farm on getting them unwound; by the time you get them straightened out, surprise, surprise, you underground." "I Told You So" grabs me with Goodrich's electric guitar again and Chris' vocal snarling like Tony Joe White's cousin, "It's worth a million bucks & you could give me half; It's the way we live as though we'll never die, live like it's nothin' but an alibi." Chris' version of Bob Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" is surprisingly effective. I usually don't care for it when interpreters slow down the tempo from an original, but here Chris' vocals are so gentle that it moves the song in a different direction, "Don't my gal look fine, mama, coming after me?". "Time Stands Still" has its share of diamonds to make this an excellent CD. Enjoy!
