Former bandmates Harris and Crowell team up for a fantastic release of reflective,
even elegiac new songs. Really outstanding Americana music.

1 – (3:40) The Traveling Kind* Plaintive, contemplative duet, just lovely.
2 – (3:41) No Memories Hanging ‘Round* Mid country crooner, alternating lead vocals.
3 – (3:36) Bring It On Home To Memphis Mid country rocker, decent.
4 – (3:27) You Can’t Say We Didn’t Try* Slower, sad love/breakup lament.
5 – (4:34) The Weight Of The World* Bouncy eco-conscious tune, swings nicely.
6 – (4:12) Higher Mountains* Slow, lovely song of desire, wow!
7 – (3:03) I Just Wanted To See You So Bad* Up-tempo cover of Lucinda Williams song.
8 – (4:21) Just Pleasing You* Sweet, slow ¾ time song, lovely confessional.
9 – (3:00) If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now* Swinging, funny crooner, excellent.
10 – (2:42) Her Hair Was Red* Another meditative duet, fantastic.
11 – (4:22) La Danse De La Joie* Creole feel to this fine tune, nice!
