With Jerry Marotta as part of this (and Tony Levin as a guest) I had been expecting something along the prog or fusion lines of sound. While there are some hints of both of those things here, this is more in keeping with an adult contemporary and world music sound. It's melodic and quite pleasant. While it's not prog, it's an entertaining journey. This is the kind of thing that should appeal to a wide range of people.

This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2018  Volume 3. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2018.

Rising up gradually, this has some cool melodic elements at play. The percussion textures are pronounced. I dig the bits of musical fills. The vocal delivery is fun stuff. There is some jazz and world music amidst a bouncing kind of mellow pop rock sound.

This is very Latin in style and concept. It's more world music than it is anything else. This is energetic, entertaining and fun.

A mellow, vacation kind of groove is the musical concept here. That fits well with the lyrical content of the cut. This is another pleasant piece in the soft rock kind of vein. I dig the guitar work later on the number.

I love the percussion on this cut. The bass work is so cool, too. This is a great mid-tempo melodic piece. The vocal arrangement is among the best here. In fact, this might be my favorite tune on the disc. It's a great to end things in style.
