Track by Track Review

Be My Girl This arrangement is a killer pop rock one. There are hints of punk in the mix. I'm reminded of Tom Petty to some degree. The horns bring something special to the tune, too. This is energetic and fun. |

125
There is a healthy helping of psychedelia in the mix here. It has a dreamy kind of vibe to it. The cut grooves with a trippy style. The Beatles are a valid reference point in some ways. |
|
Just Can't Take It There is an odd kind of introduction to this number. It works out to a punky kind of pop rocker from there. This is fun, but not up to the level of the first couple pieces. I dig the cool guitar textures later in the piece, though. |
|
Still I'm Lost Acoustic guitar starts this number, and it works out in sort of a folk rock mode. As the arrangement fills out a bit we get some more 70s rock textures. Somehow I can make out some hints of The Beatles on this cut, too. It definitely has some psychedelic texture, but also some Americana sound. |
|
Might As Well Be Me There is a sense of playfulness to this cut. It is definitely set in a folk motif. It has some classic musical textures and is quite effective. I dig the slide guitar bits later in the track. The arrangement does fill out with style. |
|
Another Day This has some cool rock zones built into it. It's a gritty, Americana styled jam. It has some tasty slide guitar built into it. |
|
Just Can't Take It Revisited This is an odd sort of tune. There is a spoken bit at times. The cut is very artsy. It has a rocking groove at its heart, though. This is definitely strange. It gets a parental advisory. |
|
Tired Very Bob Dylan-like, this is a classy folk rock tune. It's not a highlight, but it is solid. The arrangement gets some rather psychedelic augmentation. |
|
Alright Drums bring this into being, and the cut rocks out from there with a lot of style. This is an energized rocker that works well. |
|
Here for Today Tom Petty is on the menu here. There is plenty of psychedelia, too. The guitar riff that drives this is the best of the set. I'd actually label this tune as the strongest of the bunch. It's just so cool. It's worth the price of admission all by itself. |
|
Out of My Hands Another classy rocker with some psychedelia in the mix, I can hear both The Beatles and Tom Petty in the mix here. This is strong stuff. |
|
Out of My Hands (Reprise) As you might guess from the title and parenthetical of this cut, we get a variant of the previous track here. It comes in with a stripped back arrangement. A female gospel singer comes in over the top of this version. While she's really wailing it, I think it takes away from the beauty of the song rather than adding anything. Still, this is a cool variant. |
