Excellent slightly off-the-beaten-path pop album. Known more as a folk outfit (The Story), this album retains numerous singer/songwriter characteristics, but is definitely not a folk album. There are a number of tracks which are gorgeous pop tunes akin to the Bongos/Richard Barone (without quite so much overt Beatles adulation going on) or Bruce Cockburn (who lends a hand on "War").

Rating : ***1/2
