I read the other reviews. Um....ok. Well, they are ok but lets talk about the music. From the first song to the last song I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. The hooks, the melodies, the cheer, the pathos, the adventure, and the romance are all here. As soon as I heard the album I bought a few more to send to friends and family. Yes, I like this album a lot and the more I play it the more I like it. I guess now I have to go back and buy his earlier CDs. I've become so tired of the junk, the hip hop rap, the ego battles, the "bling" laden dangerous looking over produced gangster crap that passes for music these days that I was hungry for real music again that I can enjoy. Josh Rouse writes and performs real music written from experiences that I can relate to. So, I give it 5 stars and happily so.
