"After a long wait for another Lamothe release, I was eager to give this cd a listen. I like this cd more and more every time I listen to it. To hear Rob singing unfamiliar (and some familiar) songs again is a beautiful thing. Its been too long! The album is quite diverse but does not stray far from the Lamothesque style we have grown to love and expect. There are a handful of potential singles here. "Aint Broken Yet" is currently my favorite. "Good Enough for Me" and "Broke Down Train" have potential as well. When I hear "No Wonder" and "Goodbye Calgary", I want to grab the wife, a nice bottle of wine and settle down by a warm fire. I hear some of Rob's familiar themes in his very personal "I Dont Walk Alone" and "Til Forever is Over". My only question is the purpose of including the reworked versions of Ashes to Ashes and 12 Moons. Why these 2 songs in particular? Kudos to Rob and his crew for another fabulous masterpiece. Rob, I thank you for the continuous auditory pleasuring."
