Well, Dan Hill, Juno Award winner for best album with Longer Fuse, I'm not going to lie: it took about half of your album for me to fall for your relentless earnestness. After the immediately recognizable hit Sometimes When We Touch to open, I wasn't exactly sold on an entire album of the stuff that no doubt inspired John Ondrasik and who knows how many other smooth troubadours.
But - by the time You Are All I See and Southern California rolled around, I'd stopped waiting for a break in the calm waters and settled in nicely for the rest of the album, at which point I was nicely rewarded by Still Not Used To as a good closer.
Can't say as I'm ever going to take this album for another spin, but it was a nice listen on a weekend.
