The first track has a lot of funk and soul to it, and clips along at a nice pace. It gets a little groovy as the album goes on. Is it good? Yeah. Is it for me? No. I'm glad I listened to it, but I don't really see a place for it in my life.

Had to check I didn't accidentally put on a bootleg live album at first. This was apparently the intended sound. Right out the gates we get a 4 chord basic country jam with weak vocals and bad lyrics. This would be okay, but it's SEVEN MINUTES LONG. By the end it felt like purgatory.
We don't get anything resembling interesting until the third track and by then I'm exhausted. This thing didn't go anywhere near the inside of a studio. It's a bunch of demos.
Rated 8/10
This one isn't about the music, which goes from from clumsy to perfunctory. It's about the lyrics and the mood. This one feels like an old friend, who you invite over to share a beer and life's troubles. The Stranger Song stands above the rest.
Rated 6/10
Sounds very 70's art-prog-folk-rock. Quite dated and not very interesting vocal melodies. The flute solos on a couple songs are fun, and squeezing everything out of a flute that exists. But idk, use a sax or a clarinet. Suffers from weak 70's production.
Rated 4/10
Starts out a little messy and confused. Second track a little middle of the road, but not annoying. Easy listening hip hop.
