I;d like to start off the music review with his song titled, AFTERLIFE. This song is truly a gem right off the start. The melody and lyrics are perfect in every way.
This song will grow on you fast and you'll want to play it over and over again. Very, very impressive. LOOKING BACK [features Abbie Gardner and Ben Plotnick] which is an epic instrumental that you could close your eyes and float away forever. The melody is soft and very soulful. Listen close, can you feel it?
TIME IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS is one of his many instrumentals on the CD and they all stand out on their own. I must admit, Mason Williams and quite a few other instrumental artists would be impressed by him. This song is superb as he stands out on his own. Check it out.
SONG FOR BETH is excellent from start to finish and he picks and strums away. The melody is unforgettable once you hear it. This song is so, so sweet. I FELL [features Kaitlyn Raitz] is another amazing song with very sweet vocals as the violin and guitar work well together as if they are talking to each other.
This is another 'must; song to hear. WOW! WAS IT ALWAYS LIKE THIS? bring this epic CD to an end. This song just flows along at a steady pace as the melody can get in your head. The pace of this song is peaceful and good for the soul. WOW! What an amazing artist and album. You can find him at: You tube, Facebook, Deezer, Pandora, Apple Music and other sites. ROCK ON , JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE]
