In the artist's own words:
'Gift Horse, a follow-up and companion piece to my 2008 release, Fringe, continues the theme of returning home -- in body, spirit and memory. For me, there was still much to explore. The places we have left, by moving or maturing, abide in us still in our memories, in our words and in our music. Through the portals of Gift Horse, I take you with me to my beloved West, to Wyoming and Montana and the Dakotas, with old songs, still true to form, and new originals, paying tribute to the Prairies and the people I hold so dear. I intended to impart a solid sense of place in this music, minimalist in design, and maximum in impact, much like the prairies themselves.'
