Starts out with a song that has syrupy vocals and even more syrupy string arrangements. The high dosage of sugar is not a good start for me. the next song, Just like the Rain has a lighter tasting arrangement with a pleasant country swing and much much more to my liking. Hawley has a classic crooner's voice, at times reminding me of Elvis Presley's way with a ballad, which is very much on display on the fourth song; Darlin' Wait For Me. Thankfully the over the top strings have yet to re-appear. Here In My Arms is another pleasant country tinged ballad that features some gorgeous slide guitar giving it a bit of a Hawaiin feel. The beautiful music continues throughout the rest of the album. Pleasantly beautiful adult contemporary pop music that is chock full of beautiful melodies and smooth arrangements that suit Hawley's gentle vocal performance. Highlights besides those mentioned; I sleep Alone, (Wading Through) The Waters of My Time and my favorite; Who's Going to Shoe Your Pretty Feet. The album closes with a beautiful instrumental; Last Orders. This is an accomplished album that has a nostalgic feel, but is modern enough to not feel cloying. 4 Stars
