For over 21 years The Isaacs have been working away at the music scene releasing 30 albums. The experience shows on this album as the band decidedly make all the right noises fusing country gospel with bluegrass (the later being the decidedly most prominent). I'll be honest, I don't really feel that this album contains any real killer songs and after 21 years of writing I guess it must be difficult to continue being creative and original. But what you will find here is quality, effortless, passionate and genuine music - lots of deft mandolin, violin (or should that be fiddle) and sounds that fans of the forte will delight in. Not a great album but one that's worthwhile entertaining, enjoyable and contains a real, feel good factor.
