The 33rd album by The Council of Thirteen is a slice of American rock styles of the 60s, 70s and 80s. 15 new songs written by keyboardist/composer John W. Edwards. Beginning with the CCR-infused title track, followed by "Light Ahead" a piece of new wave pop with a Joni Mitchell-like vocals. The seventies light rock feel of "Every Day Feels Right" is followed by the Natalie Merchant-influenced "New Ways To See. "Still Waiting On Line" is a plaintive 80's pop/rock duet. "You Should Know" adds a poignant song about second loves dealing with the knowledge of a first love. "Black and White" is an emotive bluesy/jazz-tinged story of interracial love and the complications around it. "Just One Chance" has that anthemic Richard Marx/Benny Mardones/John Parr vibe while "Back Where I Started" has a country rock feeling. "I Know This Feeling" channels Karla Bonoff/Wendy Waldman/Laura Nyro stylings. "Every Life I've Lived" has a very 80's singer songwriter feel that reminisces of Dan Fogelberg, Dan Seals or Gene Cotton. "Between The Lines We Draw" has a flair for the dramatic in a Springsteen style. "Common Ground" has an almost progressive tinged Kansas/Styx sound. "Still Standing In Line" is female led country-rock in a Dolly Parton style. "Silent Night" is an epic intense ending song about a soldier alone in a deserted outpost in space.
