Alone - Jimmy Ponder

Advantages: The best album in the world, EVER
Disadvantages: Sometimes a bit difficult to get hold of

...of the album though are the more obscure tracks. Your house, Hear you me and Cautioners show Jimmy Eat World at their most sensitive and most gorgeous. With a voice stolen from an angel and givena little modern twist, Adkins soars and saunters around keys mere mortals would have thought impossible. Is he really this heartbroken or is he having a laugh while the public fall hook, line and sinker for his songs. One thinks that he means everything he says but nothing is out of the league of this band. Maybe that is half of the appeal.

Advantages: Great country and western music
Disadvantages: None

...along at a nice pace and somewhat typically a country and western love song. In at two. You haven’t left me yet .(Dana Hunt, Kent. M. Robbins) This ones about a man who is going through a break up with his partner / wife but everywhere he turns in his home there are reminders of her. A sad song giving food for thought. The top spot. Neon Row. (Jimmy Jay, Donny Kees) Another sad song about a wayward woman searching for excitement but only being used by men along the way.
