Track by Track Review

Follow Your Heart
Mellow, slow moving country music is the concept on the opener. |
 |
Holding On This is even mellower. It’s more like a folk meets soft rock song, though. It’s a pretty ballad.
|
 |
Make Them Go Away An energized number, this is more of a rock song.
|
 |
Love the Hell out of You Here we get another more rocking piece. It has some hints of blues rock and a lot of Americana. There’s a cool rather jazzy jam later in the track, too. |
 |
Lock the Door, Lose the Key This time around we’re back in country territory. Energetic and fun, this is good stuff. |
 |
Close, Close, Close Seeming to combine folk, soft rock and country music, this is energized and strong. |
 |
Whispers & Rumors This is probably the best song of the set. It’s got a great atmospheric texture in a lot of ways. Yet, it’s a rocker. It has a great balance between rocking and mellower sections. This is just plain cool.
|
 |
Vegas Folk rock is the idea here. There are bits of country in the mix, too. This is another that’s among the best here. |
 |
Wedding Day Song This folk and soft rock piece is a love song. That was obvious from the title, right? |
 |
Always Kiss Me Goodnight There’s a lot more country in the mix on this energized piece. It’s not quite a rocker, but it’s definitely not a ballad. |
 |
White Roses Although it gets a bit powered up, this is basically a pretty ballad. It’s one of the best pieces here. |
 |
You Saved the Best for Last The vocals bring some country to this, but it’s more like a soft rock piece. As the arrangement gets more filled out later it takes on some jazzy sounds. |
 |
Stand in My Way This acoustic guitar based song is a country music styled piece. It’s not a ballad, but not a real rocker, either.
