LOOKIN' FOR MY BABY is a very soulful song that will get you right in the heart.I love the phone call at the beginning of the song. This song is so, so sweet.
TIME TO SAY GOODBYE reminds me of a soulful Stones song with Jagger doing vocals. This song is a MUST to hear. BACK TO YOU has a J. Geils band favor that will have you hooked from the very first note. Crank this song up.
LITTLE HEADS UP has great guitar licks and the vocals and harmonies are excellent.The melody will be in your head for days
