It's just impeccably done. And, it doesn't have vocals, which means it's easier to listen while I work. :) Last One on the Line is just amazing. I would love to hear more from this group.

Terrific instrumental bluegrass and Americana from this L.A. musician that is as big as the desert sky.

If Not Now, Who?
by Joe K. Walsh
supported by 9 fans who also own “This One”
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.
