Title: Great Songwriter
Review: Gerry Beckley has consistently shown that he can produce intelligent and enjoyable pop/rock music. This new set of tunes features an all star supporting cast of back up musicians that round things out nicely. Rusty Young of Poco fame lends his pedal steel and other skills to 'Arms' and my favorite drummer of all time, Russ Kunkel is featured on 'Love & Leaving'. The only thing I miss on Gerry's solo stuff is Dewey Bunnell. I love Gerry's unique voice, but I prefer the America stuff where the disc is broken up by songs in Dewey's lower register. A whole disc of Gerry is too much of a good thing for me sometimes. This probably comes from years of saturated America listening! I keep waiting for the 'Dewey' song to come on to break things up. Anyway, you can't go wrong with this CD if you are a fan of America and Gerry's great songwriting.
