Four Star Review:
"Well, here's a trend bucker. Claude Diamond
was 65 when he cut his first album...Now
Rounder has reissued it and his follow-up on
this 2on1, and boy am I glad they did...a
lifetime of observation has gone into...this
album by the best 'new' singer I've heard in
years." Douglas McPherson,

Dust on the Vettset label. Now he has released his second album, Highway of Life. The new
album includes eleven original Americana/Roots songs that are a diverse mix of musical styles
including bluegrass, Cajun, blues and country. In the manner of Billy Joe Shaver and John
Prine, he writes and sings about the realities of life using both humor and sadness to tell his
unique stories. Claude writes and performs music you wish you could hear on mainstream radio
- but can't. If you are looking for some great original stories written in a fresh style, you will
love this album! Some are funny, some are sad and all are a pleasure to hear. Once you start
listening, you will keep riding until the highway ends.
