Depending upon your musical tastes, you may really dig this CD. I have heard Dennison before as well as seen him live. After all, I spent 4 years of my collegiate career in Lancaster, PA (you would have know that had you read my bio). Never the less, this disk really surprised me. He never impressed me in the past, but that is perhaps because I never was into mellow music until this past year. And mellow Dennison is. Dennison's amazingly melodic and sweet voice is accompanied only by his soft string guitar and the occasional piano. If you like music to unwind and think to - get this. I really dug this album. Dennison sets up a lot of songs with stories. In a way this is a folk album, kind of like that Margaritaville guy.
B+

I've always admired those who are completely willing to forgo any sense of ego and wear their hearts on their sleeve for everyone else to see. Of course, if done poorly, it's more embarrassing than anything else. However, done right, it somehow resonates with you in a way that's hard to explain.
