Brad Davis boldly goes where hundreds have gone before: With Both Feet is an acoustic guitar driven, Southern rock/folk tinged album that breaks no new ground either musically or vocally. Davis uses well-mined themes, even down to some of the song titles: "I'm Free," "Perfect Love," "All You Need," and "God of Second Chance." The songs are overlong, and fall into a predictable rhyme scheme, making it easy to sing along to the next line even if you'd never heard the song before.
Davis is, at best, a lesser version of Andrew Peterson, without that artist's songwriting ability. His middle of the road vocals are passable. With Both Feet is a disc that will not offend based on talent, but neither will it draw you back.
