This cd is a well complied album with sounds and music everyone can enjoy. I always respect artists like the Beatles who in every way shape or form go out of the way to produce a unique sound. This album is not a shy guy away from that at all. No matter what the mood your into this cd will capture that moment in at least one of the tracks. If at any time of day you feel funky "No Flies On Nigel" has what your looking for or a soothing sound just to relaxe to "Little Boats On the River" has just the taste you need. This album is a must have for all of the people who truly injoy listening to good music.

When I bought the album I wasn\'t sure what type of music to expect, I was told it was a mix of everything. This is the greatest.  Ken, great job.  I have my favoites already and I have only had the album for a day.  I love Down the road, Stay with me tonight, little boats on the River, Lonely without you..I guess if I keep going I will just list the complete list.  Good Morning America should host you on their \"Second Cup Cafe\"

I bought this CD at Dimple Records. I love it. What a refreshing change from some of the other music on the radio today. The arrangements, the song writing, the instrumentals, the vocals... fantastic.  Kens versatility as a songwriter and artist are brought to the forefront on this CD.
You can hear a hint of musical influence from the Beatles and Dylan and much like the Beatles and Dylan, Ken has his own unique style. Great music, looking forward to the next CD. An artist this good needs to be on the radio and shared with the rest of the world.  There\'s a lot of people who can use some GOOD music in their life right now. Music to help soothe the soul and ease the mind, music that will reflect on the better times.
This CD is a must listen to.

The album begins with a Dylan-esque folk song called “Stay With Me Tonight” complete with harmonica, banjo, congas and a slide guitar.  The second track, “Little Boats On The River” is a real toe-tapper with a smooth bass line, pretty guitar work sprinkled in, and a tasteful chord progression as the song reaches its title line.  With “Dirt From My Hands” Ken breaks out the electric guitar.  From the swell of feedback at the intro to the unique order of the final chords, this song is a guitar player’s dream.  Be sure to turn it up at the final section of the breakdown to hear an all-fret-encompassing fusion guitar solo from Jerry Jennings.  Next Ken pulls off a sparse but effective cover an obscure Beach Boys tune with “I’d Just Love To See You”.  The song “No Flies On Nigel” builds slowly through the whole first and second verse, then after a pair of partial triplets it kicks into high gear.  Listen for another screaming guitar solo from Jerry and check out that final chord!  By the half way point on the CD you are ready for some accordion on “Gotta Love This Life”.  And watch out!  This accordion kicks it out on the break.  It’s fun to listen to.  Gotta love it!  Ken pulls out what may be the biggest rocker on the disc with “Never Be The Same”.  The guitar is out front, but not offensive.  Here we get a small taste of what Tony Pacheco is capable of on the guitar, and the bass pushes you right along.  The accordion makes its return on “Lonely Without You” with an authentic European style sound.  I would be remiss if I didn’t tip my hat to Ken’s bass playing on this track.  Nice!  The second cover on the CD is called “Singing The Blues”.  And Ken’s got some good company here as Paul McCartney has also been known to cover this one.  The song “Say Goodbye” is the kind of song that makes you bob your head with the beat; slow, but somehow driving.  Jerry adds some unique fills in the breakdown section.  I love the transition as the song “Golden Girl” progresses into the bridge.  The final track “Down The Road” just happened to be beggin’ for a fiddle break, so Ken found one that seems to fit just right.

All in all Bring It Home is very well done.  There is quite a mixture with a variety of instruments and a wide range of styles.  This is the CD I put on the house stereo when I’m relaxing in the backyard or when I’ve got some Sunday morning cleaning to do.  Overall, it’s an excellent listen all the way through.
