Hey, maybe I'm not entirely objective, after all, I love his songs since childhood, but far too long MAINTAINED hits the nail on the head. No song a really pulls through the rhythm in his spell, it is rather the texts that touch. Just typical Howard. The unconditional love to his sons, or on the road close to feel his mother and miss. LIFE is a mosaic I especially like not imagine what would one be missing if you do not buy this CD as a fan ;-) I just hope to hear these new songs during his tour and not only as an endless loop at home. If you like his songs, will just love this quiet album, so strong buy recommendation! He's not even long for the scrap heap !!!
