A KIND OF LOVE THAT WILL TEAR YOU APART is a great song to kick off this album which reminds me a bit of The Remnants meets Jon Bon Jovi doing vocals. This song has all the hooks you could ever need in song. A true gem and worth all the airplay he can get
. TRAMP LIKE ME is a bit laid back as Jared vocals are a great delight to hear once again. He will, definitely, get to you once you have a taste of him. This song fits him perfectly throughout the song. MAMA is a very heartfelt song as the lyrics say it all. I am quite sure many of us can relate to this song in one way or another. Close close.
The melody and lyrics are the best ever. I love it. HELLO, MY NAME IS A STANDING JOKE is a song I can surely relate to just by the title alone. Listen close to the lyrics as the melody just flows along perfectly. The band is tight as ever as the vocals are a true highlight in each song. Superb.
VACANCY BLUES is a super laid back song as the melody just flows along as the lyrics fit in at the perfect time. This song is one of those that you could slow dance with your sweetheart forever and never let go of her. WOW! Need I say more? STARS AND HEARTS brings this album to an end with a sweet supercool fast paced song. I must admit, he surely surprised me in so many ways. Thank you Krista. Please check him out at: You tube, Deezer, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
