Cross My Broken Heart is a sun-drenched piece of Americana that touches upon hints of country, rock, and pop music. Smart guitar work and inimitable vocals make this salvo a must-listen. Lonesome Soldier builds upon the country and western and desert rock traditions to create something touching. 
The sheer amount of narrative that is established during this single will hold up nicely to repeat spins, while Spiritual Awakening is a hard-nosed effort that links together bayou rock with hints of John Hiatt and Neil Young. Wild River slows things down, adding a bit of blues into the mix – this track has a timeless sound that will resound long after the album has ceased to spin.
Top Track: Lonesome Soldier
Rating: 8.8/10
