Rod MacDonald's first solo recording, originally issued as an LP in 1983 by Cinemagic Pictures, is here re-mastered for cd and presented in a replica of original LP jacket, scaled down to cd with readable type. Album starts with John Kruth's coyote howl flute on the apocalyptic Unearthly Fire, winds through grunge rock and roll and the symphonic, piano-driven American Jerusalem to the a cappella A Sailor's Prayer and the environmental anthem Every Living Thing, sweetly sung with Dave Van Ronk and Lucy Kaplansky. One of MacDonald's most-covered collections of songs.
