Description:  This CD is a compilation of Plainfolk original tunes written by Charlie Ball and includes their hits "Fireman's Prayer" and "Amoskeag Mill".  Described by Scott McLennan, Entertainment reporter for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette newspaper, "Songs about turn-of-the-century industrial America, reflections on growing old, and pure flights of fancy make 'The View From Here' a thoroughly enjoyable romp through the acoustic woods."  The CD artwork features the "old" Worcester, MA skyline before becoming obscured by the construction of the new Medical Center and Centrum Hall.  The CD booklet includes words to all the songs.
