The Time It Is Today

(Russ Giguere) Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536): Very complex and personal, an excellent work by Russell Giguere. At times very pastoral, at times very angry, one man's plea for humanity to "wake up".
