本专辑是乔治温斯顿继《森林》后逍遥山水间酝酿了三年的又一张大作,延续了《森林》的清新灵动,描述了广阔无垠的大地之音,是对其生长的美国蒙大拿原野的礼赞。 发片首周荣登Billboard新世纪排行冠军,打入Billboard流行专辑榜。

Like 1994's Forest, George Winston's 2000 album Plains is inspired by the subtle beauty of America's landscapes. Pieces like "Dubuque" and "Muliwai" evoke regions as diverse as Montana's fields and Hawaiian shores, but Winston's distinctive piano stylings unite the songs into a cohesive vision. Though his interpretation of Sammy Cahn's "Teach Me Tonight" is unremarkable, his cover of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" and originals like "Cloudburst," "The Swan," "Rainsong," and the title track showcase Winston's unique ability to transform nature into expressive piano pieces.
