Good new release from MMM. Top-notch arrangements, all songs written by MMM.
*= favorite cuts
1 – (2:42) Peaceful Country* Up-tempo, excellent vocals & musicianship.
2 – (3:27) Under A Rolling Sky* Bouncy tempo, then picks up. Nice track.
3 – (3:06) Secret Smile Slow love ballad, sweet & nostalgic.
4 – (3:45) Faded Blues* Mid-tempo, Tex Mex feel, catchy.
5 – (3:53) Shake It Off* Mid-tempo stomp, duet w/Pauline Resse.
6 – (4:12) Hardscrabble Creek Slow ballad, reflective.
7 – (3:33) Mountain Storm* Mid-tempo, modal sound, pretty.
8 – (3:37) The Gathering Slow ballad, a touch over-produced.
9 – (2:44) New Old Love Mid-tempo, just so-so.
10 – (3:25) Unfinished Symphoney Slow love ballad, a bit pokey.
