There’s an accomplished maturity in the songwriting and a sense of acceptance and peace to these superior, largely laid-back workouts, packed with Langton’s familiar echo-drenched solos.

Hey Mama and A Dream are reminiscent and worthy of Gary Moore-era Thin Lizzy, while a closing trio of sparse acoustic instrumentals could have been plucked from Ry Cooder’s Paris, Texas soundtrack.
A couple of misfires (reggae, rapping) aside, Langton seems to have found his mojo. It suits him.
