Well-structured songs in a story-teller fashion that everyone can relate to.

My hat's off to WALLACE! These well-structured songs told in a songful story-teller fashion speak from the heart in a way that everyone young and old can find a part of themselves in. As I listened I felt the soul of Jim Croce coming in and out, as well as the vocal tones and characteristics of a fresh, young Bob Dylan. I even at times heard some guitar licks that reminded me of Willie Nelson, and even a hint of the Irish Rovers. Yet overall WALLACE's own unique style showed through like a blossoming red rose in a field of daisy's. His free-flowing lyrical style breaks the chains of conformity often heard in so many other songs {where almost robotic, metranomical motion has tethered a singer's inspiration.} I'm envious of WALLACE's ability to paint a kalidescope of vivid feelings, with pictorial imagery for the mind and heart, which are woven like a fine tapestry into the verses and chorus's of his songs! WALLACE is truly a Master at the art of songwriting!

This CD is worth a few listens. Dynamic without being overstated. Subtle but without sacrifice to style. The songs stay rooted in acoustic tradition, however, uniquely layered intrumentation adds balance and occasional flash to strong rythms and tones. We eagerly await new material from this up and coming performer.
