This is a very strong album. Poignant, provocative songs delivered with a honesty and authenticity that is very compelling. Very little filler at all. All the songs pack an emotional impact. The playing is also escellent and the arrangements are tasteful and very well produced. Which brings me to the sound quality...absolutely first rate my Candaian pressed original vinyl is outstanding. Clear, deep, balanced sound that never fails to impress. Definitely a strong point of an already strong performance. 4.5 stars
