Poetry. "His is a distinctly American music; the cadences of colloquial speech sound forth in Etter's jazzy, downhome hymns to those things he will not let go unspoken in his world: the rivers and Main Streets, willows and railroads, state fairs and carnivals, the ubiquitous all-seeing (if not quite all-knowing) neighbors"--David Clewell.
