Featuring Caleb Southern (Ben Folds Five) behind the boards for the penetrating "Geraldine" and the instantly memorable "Highway Lines" with Mannix shaping the remaining 14 tracks; a recent EP showcased the sweetly sung "Best Suit"; the uplifting Steely Dan-by-way-of-Jefferson Airplane hippy-dipped title track; a Squeeze-like pop-jangler known as "Leave the Past Behind"; and the flic-your-Bic because things'll be better Badfinger ballad with an ELO heart called "Sunshine".

Additional strokes of genius on this genre-jumping wonder include: the top 20 appeal of "Heard You Got Home", " Sunset&Vine", "Go West" and "Salvation"; the angsty harmonies of" My Flag and my Flower"; the McCartney-esque drive of "Take My Blues Away" and "Tired of Thinking About You"; the moody focus of "Holding IT All Together"; the gorgeous "Feel The Way I Do"; and "Gasoline's" chugging beat and nasty sense of humor.
