Dreamy guitar stuff, lyrical, pretty, but with a tough edge in places. Very much accessible. Thoughtful, slow moods that cover a lot of stylistic ground, including Persian/"world" music and some cowboy folk. Really nice. FCC clean.

A bit of action: (2,5). "World" sound: (1,3,5).
Serene, dreamy: (4,6,7).

1- Snappy mid/fast with a touch of an exotic Persion sound
2- A bit of tension. Slow rock melody. Like a movie soundtrack for an early scene before the gunfights start. Gets tougher near the end.
3- More mid-east "world" influence. Cool percussive break, w/drum and clicking guitar. Mid/fast, good energy level.
4- Floaty and dreamy, with a fairly fast guitar solo
5- Morose violin. Tough and dramatic mid/fast. Later, gets really fast with a Middle Eastern touch.
6- Slow, coolly loping. More twangy than 7, a bit of an edge, & tougher solo.
7- Sleepy. A bit of high-lonesome western. Pretty.
