The song, Winter of Herself, was written by John Valusek.This 9 song album was Produced by Greg Shuttle. RETURN TO ME starts off this album with a sweet melody and great lyrics as the music can carry you away. I must admit, he reminds me a bit of Randy VanWarmer in this song. What a superb song to kick off an album.
HOUSE OF CARDS has a simple, laid back beat to the song as it just flows along at ease and the lyrics say it all. Quite an interesting song. Just sway along with it. WINTER OF HERSELF is a supersweet song as the melody stands out on its own as the lyrics say it all. Listen close and you might be able to relate to the lyrics. I love it.
THE DAY MY BEAUTY DIED , definitely, has that Replacements type of vibe, just laid back a bit more than their sound. This song is a must to hear and for so many reasons. What a true gem. BIG RED BLANKET is quite an amazing song to end this magnificent album. This album is flawless in every way. I highly recommend checking him out WOW! This album is quite a hidden gem. Thanks Krista.
