Keaggy's follow-up release to 1980's Ph'lip Side shows a little more maturity than the previous efforts lyrically.
The album is more emotional, more textured, and more intelligent, and certainly has no right-wing soapboxing.
Musically, he takes a few more risks -- as found in the raw guitar energy of "Full Circle" or the time changes in the title track.
The opening track features a tribute to his old band, Glass Harp, which he dedicates to his old bandmates (this song is rich with northeast Ohio references such as Akron's Civic Theater and Cleveland's major newspaper, the Plain Dealer).
One or two songs here stand out as being rather dated, but this is only because most of the recording is so timeless.
Keaggy starts inching toward an excellent McCartney impression on this one.
