Got the official hard copy CD a few moments ago in the mail!!!!

Not Too Late - The flurry of guitarwork is mindblowing! His voice is very strong and powerful.

Show You How - This and It Was You are just adorable songs. Fun and funky. Gets stuck in your head for sure. You can totally groove while listening to this. LOL

Under the Skin - My absolute favorite song on this album as of right now. I adored it like I adored Red Rover the second it came on. The melody touches my heart and I love his vocal on this. "your passion swallows you whole..deaf, dumb and blind..." Sheebus.

I Am Waiting - The Soundstage version is one of my faves and I adore this version too. It's more tight sounding, but I just love it.

It Was You - Such a funky, breezy song. Very Caribbean-sounding. Love the shout-outs to the kids. I can picture them listening to this and dancing around with dad. Hee!

To Try for the Sun - I never much cared for this song in it's "demo" form, but it's nice. I like the new vocal. The guitar work is masterful...as usual. The Stevie fans should be happy with this one.

Cast Away Dreams - I love the melody on this one!! A great hummable song...so pretty. The lines that are freaking me out... "it would do no good to drown in the sea where no one remembers their name and nothing but nothing is free." Woah...I may be reading that wrong, but...

Shut Us Down - This one caught me off guard when we heard it a little while ago. It was so out there, in the vocal especially, but it's grown on me. I find myself singing the chorus allll the time. The guitar work is amazing. ARG, why cut the solo, Lindsey...WHY!?!!?!

Down on Rodeo - This was never a fave of mine, but it has grown on me A LOT and is a terrific song Great single choice. I am 99% sure they will do this tonight in Nashville.

SGCYM - One of my faves...have loved it for awhile now. Powerful vocals!!

Flying Down Juniper- LOVE the soaring vocal on the chorus! I can picture a video in my head for this song with kids playing and running around in slow-mo.

My only "complaint" is the pictures in the booklet seem very dark. Is it that way on everyone's copy? I have 2 more copies on the way, so perhaps it was just this one. Well, that and the cut SUD solo.

This album is somethin' else, folks. I think when I heard SGCYM on that GLAAD CD a few years ago....it was a turning point. I listened and said "Wow, this is unlike anything I've ever heard from Lindsey." and he's been surprising me ever since with this new sound and maturity in his songwriting.

BRAVO! *Stands up and claps*
