"I've played this disc almost daily for over a year and still haven't tired of it. Richard crafts memorable pop songs with great melodies and slyly humorous lyrics. Many songs have a Revolver/Rubber Soul era Beatles feel with Rickenbacher guitar parts and terrific harmonies (by Richard and Deborah Holland). A couple of songs have a fun and twangy country sound, but with words you'd never hear from Garth (like "No Cows Allowed"). All fifteen songs are between two and three and a half minutes long, and not a wasted note. This disc is just as engaging on the 100th play as on the first.I hope someone locks Richard up in a studio for as long as it takes him to create another masterpiece like this. I'll be waiting at the door to buy the first copy."
