Outsight—September, 2001
Purpose moved from being a leading professional blackjack player to becoming an activist and founding the band Collective Vision. His solo career began in 1996 and brought him to this exquisite album containing material co-written with Ellis Paul and string arrangements from the Turtle Island String Quartet. We meet many travelers on this crooked, lonely road from president Rutherford Hayes to the imperturbable and alluring landscape crosser “Mary Jane.” The excellent songs feature subtle banjo and backing vocals of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer. (4.5) —Tom “Tearaway” Schulte
