Reviewed by Trevor Kirk A bright and breezy 43 minutes and 29 seconds of self-penned music from Denis, who’s gathered a very competent bunch of musos to back him, including Danny Agajanian, brother of Dennis, on mandolin and banjo. Ontario-born Denis is a bit of a veteran, having started his music career after moving to Alberta back in the 1970s, playing coffee houses and the like. A few of his biographical highlights include meeting Dennis and Danny Agajanian at a Billy Graham meeting in Calgary, and becoming part of John Michael Talbot’s Catholic Musicians Association. However, this is nothing like John Michael’s brand of Celtic-tinged troubadour stuff, because this is bright and breezy country music, and a very pleasant listen. No faulting the production, Denis’s songwriting is good, he has a warm, accurate voice, and everyone performs as they should. If you like good quality country music, this should be worth seeking out.
