Title: Half the songs are great. The other half, so-so.
Product review: I got this album years ago on the strength of the remarkably depressing "Twist in My Sobriety," a great song that got a tiny bit of airplay. I still listen to the CD today, but only selected tracks - most of which, sadly, aren't the tracks that Amazon chose to feature audio samples of (with the exception of the bitter "I Love You"). A lot of the tracks on the first half of the album are somewhat bland folk-pop. But let me alert you to the jazzy tornado of "For All These Years" (trumpet by the great Mark Isham), the bluesy epic "He Likes the Sun" and what has got to be one of THE most wildly romantic ballads I have ever heard, "Valentine Heart." Those, with "I Love You" and "Twist in My Sobriety," are wonderful, wonderful songs, and make the album worthy of buying.
