This beautifully curated new recording opens on the light and breezy Pathway and the low slung Summer Flower, and then we get the laid back rocker Rescue, the ornately sewn Of Hatred’s Hand, the gently cascading Waterside, before both the melodious City Wheels and the pleasing Strange Powers are brought forth.
Along next is the pop-rocker The Great Lost Love and the free flowing Bridge, and they are in turn followed by the rhythmic elegance that drives Swallows Are Leaving, the impassioned Raven’s Wing, the delicately-hued Waxing Of The Moon, rounding out on the gently-paced So Be It, coming to a close on the rousing guitar piece Man Of War.
