"To be fair, the above reviewer should have mentioned that this CD contains music from 3 different previous OOP Aaron Sprinkle CDs and a new song. His best work, though, is found in his work with Poor Old Lu. Star Studded Super Step, Mindsize, Sin, Straight Six, A Picture of the Eighth Wonder, and The Waiting Room.



It should also be noted that he's a highly regarded producer/engineer for some terrific bands:

Starflyer 59

Demon Hunter

Kutless

Joy Electric

Damien Jurado

Pedro the Lion

MxPx

Squad 5-O"

"Aaron Spinkle's music is great Acoustic Folk/Rock that would be best appreciated by the alt-country, slowcore camp (Pete Yorn, Red House Painters, Pernice Brothers, ect...) This cd is a collection of previously released matieral along with one new song. A few of the tracks were remixed and the 2nd track even features re-recorded vocals. Truely, there is not a bad song on this record, but my personal favorites include: Sweeter Than Me, Solace, A friend I Had, and Pillbox. The latter is the only "new" song on the cd, and the only reason I bought the cd, since I own all of his other albums. I think it was worth it, Pillbox is an amazing song blending some elements of 80's pop with a more modern acoustic sound. This is a great place to start for new listeners, covers most of the highlights from his previous records, which are now pretty tough to find from what I understand."
