This CD is just as great as all their other music. I really love their music as they know how to get a good sound.

Rock 'n' roll for grown-ups
author: Ben Torre
Don Lewis has done it again. He's come up with an album that speaks to the heart, but avoids the pop cliches and pointless lyrics. Here, we see an older and wiser Don Lewis. He has mellowed a tiny bit, but isn't about to embark on a country & western inspired binge of self-pity... or tolerate it from anyone else He's not cranky, he just won't suffer fools lightly. In this album, the singer/songwriter has matured and now explores the next stage of life, but hasn't forgotten his past. Far from ready for the nursing home, he still rocks out when appropriate. This is the album I was expecting from Billy Joel or Paul Simon... but never got. I like all of the tracks, and really can't pick a favorite since they are all so darn artistically and musically strong. In short, this is rock 'n' roll for grown-ups.
