    Good Points: Therapeutic songs; accessible hooks; pleasant vocals.


    Bad Points: None.


    General comments: It shouldn't be a shock that singer/songwriter Saul Kaye comes from a family of doctors after hearing this album, which can be best described as therapeutic. Aiming for audiences outside of the limited attention spans of the pop world, Kaye has produced a record that is made for longevity. Comparisons to Dave Matthews or Jack Johnson are inevitable, but neither have Kaye's vivid storytelling.

    Kaye's metaphors and analogies aren't difficult to comprehend yet that's part of its charm. This is unpretentious brain food with a solid groove, lifting elements of folk, blues, and '70s soft rock.

    What's surprising is how easy the album is to digest; normally the hooks on a CD like this - if there were any - would take numerous spins to become apparent. However, Kaye wastes no time as the tunes are immediately catchy, especially the title track and "Hey Johnny Johnny."
