A rousing opening track takes you straight into the defiant anti war politics of this satisfying album. All the songs are lyrically thoughtful and considered. Sometimes with a historical sweep to them just to put the current war fixated culture into perspective. 
The integrity of the lyrics is combined here with a sweet folk style, gentle harmonies, nice acoustic guitar playing. It has an old fashioned folk feel which I don't mind as I'm a bit nostalgic for the protest era in music.
There's a nod to Woody Guthrie in the closing "Pie in the Sky" but the artist which I find Bruce has more in common with is Don Mclean ( and his less famous social conscience songs with bite).
One song I find particulary ingenious here is 'Red Shift', it cleverly examines the wider spiritual  crisis hidden behind the rise in obesity. In fact the bigger picture is never far from view in Bruce Lesnick's songs.
Highly recommended.

It happens once in a while. I often listen to music online, trying to find something that just makes me think "Wow, that's good". And it happens very rarely. I just listened to the first track of this CD on CDBaby and immediately ordered it. And I sure don't regret it.

Great lyrics, nice guitar playing, and that little je ne sais quoi that just lit it all. 

It won't be long until I order more stuff by Mr. Lesnick.
