The Last Time and In A Dream are awesome.

The rest of the record is okay, but it's such random collection of shit - classic rock, blues, Zeppelin worship, Hendrix worship, psychedelic. It's like one of those Richie Kotzen solo albums where each song is a different genre. Musicians will love it, normal people will not.

“Silver Horses” is excellent.

The rest of it is ok, but not as strong as the first one.

Not nearly as good as the debut, but "The Last Time" is a pretty good single.

I've only heard Whisky Dust, but I really like it.

I liked it and thought it had a better sound than the debut. 3-Day Funk, Silver Horses, Last Time, and Whiskey Dust were best. Between the strongest 4-5 tunes on the debut and the best 4-5 here, there is a truly outstanding album. I have both on vinyl.

Oh, and Dusk has quite a few great songs, too.
