Rob Greene Bill Frisell is on this album. I bought this record on cd on a whim because I liked the album cover not knowing that he is on the album. Boy, was I happy. You'll be happy. Favorite track: Our Lady of the Desert.

hguipf For me, there is something special about the music from transplanted southerners. William Tyler reminds me of what I loved about the south while also showing the rewards of embarking on a new journey somewhere strange and beautiful in its own right. Imagine your future. Ponder your past. But in the end, you are where you are...beauty is all around us. Favorite track: Man in a Hurry.

Lovdahl, Ian Perfect instrumental guitar record. Tyler is an incredible songwriter, because unlike other instrumental albums, "Goes West" never overindulges on its own virtuosity. Every note is where it needs to be, sounding deliberate, and delicate, and it’s satisfying when the songs are exactly as long as they need to be. As someone who also moved out West, I can hear the story in every song. Absolutely outstanding. Favorite track: Virginia Is for Loners.
