Oh my God.

This is incredible, I've never heard anything like this. Maybe Bonnie Prince Billy comes close? Maybe? But wow. Thank you so much for bringing this work of art to my attention.

The road to 50 ratings begins.

Then the road to 100.

Be sure to shoutbox me when that second one happens, I'll probably be dead by then.

I've never told anyone this, but I'm from the future. And yes, this will be a 5.0.

When? It's sooner than you think!

I've never told anyone this, but I'm from the future. And no, I'm afraid of death. Sad!

The dream is over. In the very beginning hippies, or their ancestors the beatniks used to have lofty ideals. People used to believe in so much, their was a great sense of optimism in the air but life quickly took its toll. Things fell apart.
Dave Bixby used to be a musician at the end of the 60’s when things had already started falling apart and so did his life. He started experimenting with LSD and got lost in a haze of drugs. He quit the habit and found Jesus, he made this album to describe his experience.
This lone recording of a man sitting all alone in his living room, playing the guitar and singing about his hopes and salvation is all that remains of him, wherever he may be.
The opening song Drug Song is an absolute masterpiece. Sadly the rest of the album doesn’t live up to it, it just a bit too bland. Sure the back story makes up for it but that doesn’t change the music.

Life never gives us that what we think that we wish to receive. In your darkest hour, when you want to feel sorry for yourself and wallow in pity, life will offer you hope and redemption, just to screw you over.
The albums seems to have been supported by a religious cult, which gives a wonderful surreal and bitter taste to Bixby’s salvation especially coupled with any lack of trace of what happened to him after his 2 albums.
From one hell to another, that is all.

Ngl, a Travis Scott song is not where I thought I'd be hearing this again.
