Folk rock album, with a bit of reggae mixed in to create unique feel
Each song has a different feel, whether more folk or reggae rock
Artist sounds similar to other 90’s artists
Overall, a fun way to combine folk, reggae, and rock all in one album. Each song had its feel, and the artist had a 90’s sound that you would expect. Enjoyed listening

I really was intrigued by this record because of the first song I heard from it, Could It Be Another Change. I am disappointed to say that I am not the biggest fan of this folk/reggae rock record. Yes, this album is both at the same time. Which brings me to my point of dismay; there is no identity with this album. There is no direct sound profile, and that really brings down the experience of the project. I am sad to say that i will not be returning for another listen of this project. Sorry!
