This collection of songs shows off (Walt Sargent's) considerable talents...from the now operatic, now understated vocals, to the competent guitar playing, to the thought-provoking lyrics.

Walt, who teamed up with Huntington-based producer Dave Cook, also an ISS member, to put the CD together, demonstrates in this collection of tracks why he has often won the Writer's Choice award at ISS. 

His songcraft is well-developed, producing work that is at once pleasing to the ear and intellectually compelling. Standout tracks include the ballads "Don't Go Now" and "Me, Myself and I." 

Most of the songs feature only vocals and one or two guitar tracks, with the opening track, "Beautiful," being an exception. In "Beautiful," Walt shows that in addition to playing delicate finger-picked patterns and melodies, he can also make an electric guitar scream.
