Folk music, gentle and old-fashioned, with a earnest mid-range male vocal. Mellow songs, full of that sentimental yearning, and painted with fairly slick production (as opposed to a DIY singer/ songwriter sound). Clean harmonies and lots of acoustic steel strings. This is a collection of remasters spanning 1989 to 2005. FCC clean.
1- Pleasant, catchy. Upbeat tempo.
2- Mid/slow
3- Midtempo, sad but soaring, w/electric guitar and strings
4- Duet w/fem.vocal, soft and midtempo
5- Pleasant storybook song; innocent wonder
6- Instrumental, slowish sweet violin/piano
7- Sad country heartbreak, midtempo
8- Upbeat, strong beat. Louisiana flood lyrics written in 1989
9- Gently rocking, gets a bit overdone
10- Classical-ish piano in folky time, plus string quartet
11- Fast-patter Western feel. "How-de-dow-de-diddle-um-day" chorus
12- Lightly dancing piano piece. Title refers to an old seaplane, named for the Inuit word for "one who flies."
13- Irish sounding, upbeat mid/fast but gentle
14- Strong upbeat folky, a tribute to big rivers
15- Midtempo, mellow, sad
16- Soft, fairly fast. Low-key and whimsical.
17- Cheesy synth ugh, otherwise slow/simple song
