Another masterpiece. Put this and Volume 1 together and you have a better complete album than Traveller in my honest opinion.
Rankings
Millionaire (this is a radio smash, I think. What a great listen)
A Simple Song
Trying to Untangle My Mind
Scarecrow in the Garden
Drunkards Prayer
Nobody's Lonely Tonight
Friendship
Midnight Train to Memphis
Hard Living (still really enjoy this song even though it's at the bottom)
With all of that said about this tremendous record, I think Volume 1 still beats it by just a tad.

This is a good album, Vol A was a good album. But...
1) I wish he had combined them into one really good 14 song album
2) the alternate name could have been Traveler: B side (or cutting room floor). I wish he would take some time and write new music.

I wish he would take some time and write new music. I agree. 14 Tracks entitled 'From a Room'. 1. Hard Living 2. Broken Halos 3. Scarecrow in the Garden 4. Up to No Good Living 5. I Was Wrong 6. Midnight Train to Memphis 7. Either Way 8. Trying to Untangle My Mind 9. A Simple Song 10. Nobody's Lonely Tonight 11. Them Stems 12. Death Row 13. Millionaire 14. Drunkards Prayer Regardless I'm thrilled about 18 tracks in a year and love his music. |

I have Volume 2 ordered on vinyl and should be getting it soon...but from what I've heard I just might like this one more than the last. I especially love "Scarecrow in the Garden."

Just wish radio would start playing him more, imagine how much bigger he’d be. This album is another masterpiece!

I liked it, but honestly not even close to Volume 1. "Tryin' to Untagle My Mind", "Nobody's Lonely Tonight" and "Midnight Train to Memphis" are probably the best tracks.

im gonna be in the minority here but i love this album more than Vol, 1 and that one was good too
Love (some of his best work)
Tryin' to Untangle My Mind
Millionaire
Scarecrow in the Garden
Drunkard's Prayer
The Rest are good as well a solid record i enjoyed Vols, 1&2 way more than Traveller and even that record was pretty damn good

I got a chance to listen to this today, and I definitely enjoyed it. I think my favourite tracks are "Friendship", "A Simple Song" and "Midnight Train To Memphis", but there isn't really a song that I don't like. I also think that "Millionaire" has the potential to be a hit.

He’s apparently releasing videos from the album(s) with some kind of LEGO tie-in.
