I've always liked Kiefer Sutherland as an actor, but I wasn't sure what to expect from him in terms of music. I have to say that I'm impressed. Sutherland has a very strong voice. the music here leans toward roots music with a range from country folk and blues to hard rock. It's not far removed from the kind of thing John Mellencamp does. Jude Cole produced the album, and also did some writing and playing. I guess you could imagine that the set is better for that, too. The thing is, Sutherland's voice is incredibly strong, so it would carry it anyway. There is some serious competition racking up, but this is in contention for my best of 2016 list.
