Thankfully the feel of adventure and open trails has not left him; Out Of and Into has his guitar work ...

Endless Field: Alive in the Wilderness

By GENO THACKARA

It would have been simple enough just to evoke the feel and mood of various nature spots, but Endless Field--Ike Sturm and Jesse Lewis--would rather show us that there's nothing like being there.
