    Trouble is a typically tender, casually contemplative, occasionally tearful goodbye. [Nov 2014, p.72]

    Winchester won’t be recording any more music, but he has left us with plenty of classics and undiscovered gems with this final one a wonderful example of his humble yet impressive gifts.

    “All That We Have Is Now” sets the tone for a casually stately blend of happy-go-lucky tracks that build to the Little Feat-ish “Never Forget to Boogie” and the mock-bravado of “Don’t Be Shy.”

    His songs have been revered and recorded by scores of A-list rock, folk, country and pop acts, but rarely have his own versions ever been surpassed.

    This is another worthy addition to a wonderful discography from a genuine roots music hero.

    It's mindful of the past but stands happily in the present, and this release doesn't mourn the loss of a gifted songwriter and vocalist so much as it celebrates the joy he found in his music, and this album will bring a smile to anyone who loved Jesse Winchester's music.
