Title: Honest straight-ahead rock
Product review: I bought this album after hearing a couple tracks on Karl Valentine's web-site. Solid straight-ahead mellow rock for the most part, although there are a few detours like "into something new", which has a haunting southwestern feel to it. The hooks aren't apparent at first, but will grow on you like a weed after a few listens. Overall, the lack of gimmicks, and the fact that Valentine doesn't try to be anybody but himself, give the album a refreshing honesty that is sorely needed these days. Check it out.
