Both stand up well against the classic Solid Rock albums of the period, possessing a potent combination of accurate social commentary, poetic spiritual insight and powerful appeals for change. Emotional and spiritual, these are songs that encourage us to ‘find joy in the moment’ as they see that better days are ahead. Known for songs with a pastoral focus that possess a deep awareness of the significance of place, Rumsey immerses his listeners in the places he visits and the feelings they engender. He conjures up for us not only the experience in the place it occurred but also the spiritual significance of these everyday happenings and locations. While spirituality is undeniably a shared inspiration for Scott, Battle and Rumsey, their music engages with the world through humanitarian concerns, interests and insights that are broad and open.
