The Pilgrim - Stuart, Marty (Cassette 1999)

in this age of this over pasturized,self important whatever this is music,marty reminds us that we cant go forward unless we know where we come from and thats what he tries to do with the pilgrim.he takes you on a trip from the birth to the death of a lonley man who got shuned for dateing a woman he didnt know was married.from "sometimes the pleasures worth the pain"to "red red wine and cheatin songs"to"hobo's prayer"ending with "john henry" marty makes you feel every bit of pain and sorrow this man incounters with every step.one thing i have to mention is that this is an album to be listened to track by track beginning to end.it just dosent sound right skiped around.in closeing just think of it as country's tommy.
