"Where Have My People Gone" is an inspiring traditional country gospel EP from long standing performer Tommy Riddle. This five song EP spans Riddle's sixty year career, alternating between new recordings and songs from his classic country and gospel repertoire. The full sound is similar to Johnny Cash and Eddy Arnold, from whom Riddle has drawn inspiration since the dawn of his career. The five songs cover a good deal of subject matter, ranging from America's ugly history, reconciliation to prayer and faith in patriotism. "Where Have My People Gone" is well-produced and successful in its endeavor to remaster older cuts and master the more recent raw cuts, creating an overall timeless quality. The title track, "Where Have My People Gone," is a traditional country ballad that tells the tragic story of the trek of an American Indian warrior back to his native land, in which he finds that his tribe (his people) have been kicked off the land. "Under Your Wings" is an older country gospel recording about Riddle's relationship with Jesus with inspiring lyrics and a great piano, guitar, bass, and drum arrangement. "Where Have My People Gone" is a classic EP from a classic and classy musician. Longtime Tommy Riddle fans and lovers of timeless traditional country gospel are going to want to pick this up.
