Clear meaningful lyrics come through a distinctively rock based blending of southern rock, folk, country, and roots blues. Diverse and interesting album. I liked all of them, but the best was #10

*1. 2:10 Med/Fast - Intro of footsteps/sounds, then rocking country/bluegrass instrumental
*2. 6:28 Slow - Robust and full vocals in storyteller tradition
3. 4:59 Med - gentle rock, simple tune, emphasis on vocals
*4. 5:36 Slow/Med - nice progression, blues
*5. 3:52 Med - Rock with almost island reggae beat
6. Med - Rock with extra guitar highlights
*7. Med - country rock vibe, nice vocals and harmonicas
*8. Slow - ballad about what we all need
9. Med - bluesy
**10. Med - Nice trills on guitar, Spanish feel, really good end to album, sounds final
