About this album

Third Down, 110 to Go is a strong early statement from Jesse Winchester, whose songwriting brought literary detail and melodic grace to pop-rock and country-folk. Issued in 1972, the album follows his acclaimed debut and finds him refining the qualities that made him such a cult favourite: understated vocals, humane observations and songs that sound timeless rather than tied to fashion. The record moves between reflective ballads and easy, radio-ready bounce, with tunes such as “North Star” and “God’s Own Jukebox” showing his gift for plainspoken hooks and emotional depth. It helped confirm Winchester as one of the most distinctive American songwriters of his era.
