"More than words can say" was the song I bought this cd for. Unfortunately, it was the only one I liked on the entire cd.

I'm not totally in love with the whole cd, but I'm giving it 4 stars for just 2 songs. More Than Words & Hole Hearted are so worth listening to - the guitar work & harmonies work so well on both of these songs. :-)

Okay! "More than Words" was the big hit from this album, and some contemporary hip-hop artist (name I do not remember) has remade it into a hit for today. I'm guessing this CD would be marked 'Parental Advisory' except it's from an era before such stickers existed. Highly recommended!
