The songwriting, singing, instrumentals and overall package is simply outstanding. With each song I think, "that's my favorite," until the next one starts to play and quickly replaces the top ranking. This is one of those rare CDs that is a hit from first to last on the play list. There isn't a clinker in the bunch. |
