REVIEW
by William Ruhlmann
Jeff Howell's husky voice and accomplished acoustic guitar work stand out on this folky album, though there are occasional other instruments, notably some Jaco Pastorius-like piccolo bass playing by co-producer Brad Cobb. Howell frequently sings of longing and regret, most touchingly on "Dream While You Can," a father's message to his son. Some instrumentals and comic songs balance out the solemn sentiments, but on the whole this is a thoughtful album, quite different from Howell's earlier blues albums.
