You can always count on James Lee Stanley to deliver great music. This album is no exception. I have one big complaint about the disc, though. It's very hard to tell it's a James Lee Stanley album. His name is hardly on the cover at all, only as a credit on the back. I have been looking at this disc for over a year thinking it was a self-titled disc by an artist named Without Susie. Since I wasn't all that captured by the cover, and I thought it was an artist I didn't know, when I had to pull stuff from the review list because there wasn't room in an issue, off it went. I would have probably gotten to reviewing it sooner if Stanley's name was more prominent on the cover. All that said, this is exactly the kind of strong set I have come to expect from Stanley. His blend of folk and soft rock music is always effective. It may have taken me a while to get to this, but the music is well worth the wait.

This is another that's definitely a rocker. It has a great vocal arrangement and some cool tones to it. The female vocals in the mix are a particularly nice touch. This is another highlight and a great choice for closer.
