Hooray! A brand new album of original easy on the ear country songs from the veteran act who were once called Seneca. The opener "Takin' A Stand" sets the tone of songs with more than a hint of fine morality. "Things We Can Love Without" outlines how important people actually are as opposed to material things. "Who Have You Been Talkin' To" sung by Claire cleverly poses the question, what has exactly changed her man? This intriguing question reminds me of the old gospel classic "Something has REALLY got a hold of you!" The last couple of tracks "Without You (I Haven't Got A Prayer) and the closer "Help Is On The Way" continue the spiritual dimension, leaving you with an album of pleasant country listening and some really thought provoking lyrics. The backing is very tasteful soft country with plenty of steel guitar and some nice mandolin touches.
