Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar.

My favorite track on the release is Say You Mean It Baby with a bluesy framework and strong vocals by Heideman, over the powerful piano work of Wainwright and articulate guitar phrasing by Heideman.
