Track by Track Review

Don't Ya Worry "Don't Ya Worry" is a hard rocking track and album opener. It features a melodic chorus and catchy lyrics.

Can't Say Goodbye "Can't Say Goodbye" is an awesome ballad that could easily fit onto the Monster Ballads compilation disc. This is a strong number and sets the pace for the rest of the album.

Christine This is a mid-tempo rocker with Kenny's signature vocals intact.

Rosie Red Kicking off with a killer guitar solo, this one then slams into a catchy rocker. It is sure to have you singing right along.

Something In Your Smile "Something In Your Smile" is a bluesy rocker reminiscent of Great White.

It Ain't Over In this cut, music flows together nicely. Until you get to the chorus where there is such a strong feelings and emotions are felt.

Not About Love A fun party song, this track resembles Kenny's work with Julliet.

Baby Jane This one is a catchy up-tempo ballad. Kenny seems to do ballads well, with such heart and emotion.

Miss Virginia Starting off as acoustic this one then drives into a heavy rocker. Miss Virginia is a fun song with a story to go along with it.

Witches Brew "Witches Brew" is the hardest track on the album and is done very well. It features a heavy guitar riff and screaming vocals.

Best of Me This slow acoustic track features Kenny doing what he does best.
