Liner notes by Joan Baez:
"Jeffrey and I used to sing together in the early days of the draft resistance. We would stand up in some funky gymnasium and sing "Mama Tried,' "Sing Me Back Home," and "Quinn the Eskimo." Then David Harris would speak about turning in draft cards. ending the military and building a new world.
Jeffrey had turned in his card at the very beginning and we never knew when or if he would get busted.
After David went to prison for draft refusal Jeffrey and I sang together on the road for a whole tour. He has one of the most mellow and moving, not to mention simply beautiful male folk voices I've ever heard.
He finally agreed to let me drag him to Nashville to work with my favorite musicians and lay down some of the songs he loved the most. So this is Jeffrey's first album. Sit down somewhere comfortable. It's a listen record."
