This CD has alot from the box set but selects nice short pieces which show Kerouac's funny side too. I'm from Lowell Mass and am definitely biased having read some of part of almost all of Jack's books. Jack's voice has it's own unique New England/Canuck canter and accent which you have to experience. He doesn't speak alot of Quebequa(sp?) as he does in the wonderful bootleg Dr. Sax readings, but if you can't afford the box set one of these single cd's is a great alternative.
