     “[Travis] Edward Pike’s name and reputation may still reside below the surface of general public awareness, but it’s clearly not through a lack of trying. He's created a veritable cottage industry
consisting of numerous albums, books and other output reflecting his prodigious talents as a singer, songwriter, and storyteller.
     “This follow-up to his earlier musical memoir, Odd Tales and Wonders, 1964-1974: A Decade of Performance describes his artistic development while sharing the stories of his performances over the course of a storied decade and the lyrics to the dozens of songs that populate his self-recorded efforts. It is, in every sense, a remarkable reservoir of craft and creativity.” --Lee Zimmerman

     Prior to Lee Zimmerman’s review above, Goldmine Editor Patrick Prince had Travis Pike as his guest on his January 14, 2018 Goldmine Magazine Podcast. The link to the podcast is no longer active, but the accompanying blurb stated “Travis Edward Pike comes on the podcast to talk about his latest book, A Decade of Odd Tales and Wonders. He also talks about all the music and creativity that’s covered in the book, which includes full songs that we’ll play from the album, Reconstructed Coffeehouse Blues “Don’t You Care At All” (we’ve substituted the single cut with the simulated radio newscast), and “Sing a Song of Blues” – both about the Vietnam War), and calls the album “great rock ‘n’ roll from a man who was there from the beginning of the ‘60s rock revolution.”
