Here's a piece of the review:
The album's most expressive song is also its most stark. With a lone acoustic guitar, Walker delivers "Be Good Until Then", in a graciously affecting approach that imparts a compelling poignant punch to the heart. Written for his son, Walker created a song that swells your eyes without being flashy. The one verse that moves me most is;" You don't have to try so hard/ To be the best. Just know you are/And that's all that'll matter to me". Beneath the tattooed rocker is a man with heart and soul and these words will not only be heard by his son, but by his listeners as well, who, if they're lucky will take heed to his words of wisdom. The melding on influences on this record is absorbing and with each listen, each song proves to be not just revealing but truly stirring. Boogie-woogie piano blues, introspective acoustic musings, strings descended from ELO and ultimately is houses passion that is one hundred percent Butch Walker.
