WOMAN kicks off this CD with a great '60's feel that you'll just love. I must admit, he reminds me a bit of Mitch Ryder in this song and that is quite sweet. AFTER THE LIGHTS GO OUT is a true, soulful song that will have you wanting more as he's singing direct to you from his soul. You can feel it.
ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE is pure funk that reminds me of the Average White Band and more.Crank this song up: Loud.THERE WILL BE BETTER DAYS reminds me a bit of John Mellencamp with a super strong chorus and a sweet rhythm to do. I love it.
I'LL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER is a sweet laid back song that has the feel '80's feel that should bring back many memories for you. RESPECT is the classic Aretha Franklin song that he sings with all his heart and soul. You feel the sweat just roll off him on this song.
