From the opening drums to the closing crickets, this disc is simply a masterpiece and will touch you in your heart. Sadly, Josh is no longer with us, but he left this beautiful work of art behind for us to enjoy.
It is somewhat eerie how many references to his own passing are in here, both in lyric and title, such as: "Too Cool For This World", "Night comes creeping up, I'm not ready yet... I'm undone, long before I get a chance at it", "Spirit Touches Ground", "Already Gone", "If your road has reached the ocean, but your legs still want to go".
I highly recommend it to anyone.

I had the privilage of seeing Josh and the rest of School of Fish perform in my home town of Las Vegas back around 1992 when they were supporting their first cd. They played at the old Calamity Jane's, and they, especially Josh, were amazing. Since then, I've listened to their follow up album as well as Josh's solo efforts, all of which are great. Do yourself a favor and pick up any of the cd's Josh and/or School of Fish have put out. You won't regret it.

When I first heard about Josh, it was the day he had died after a long battle with cancer. Thats the day I wanted to go and buy the CD ... and I don't regret it ... from the start till the end, Josh's voice sounds great and the songs are what I always wanted to hear. Songs like "Backwards World", "Too Cool for this World", "Waiting to Be", the title track "Spirit Touches Ground" ... and especially "Deer in the Headlights" (my favorite). Josh is simply awesome ... and thanks to the family for giving us this great gift ...

Dear Josh's friends and family: Thank you, thank you, thank you... To a fan, this album is a sweet and sour reminder, but a lasting gift. To the uninitiated, this album is a 5am wake up call that challenges what you think you know about talent and the current music industry. Then you become a fan (see above).

Take the soul and guitar skills of Jimi Hendrix, the talent of Prince, the sophistication and pop hooks of the Beatles, add in a voice that sounds like a young Robert Plant dipped in honey, and sprinkle with the sensibility of Camper van Beethoven and XTC.....and you might get something that approaches this joyful musical masterpiece by Josh Clayton-Felt. It sounds like JCF poured so much of his soul into this that he didn't leave enough for himself to go on. Personally it's hard for me to discover someone with so much talent after he is gone. I love this CD.
