The CD is brilliant. I love that Jon put his heart out there for all to see with the lyrics. There's only one thing I would change about the CD and that's the title/chorus of Janie. The verses of that song are incredible, but the chorus drags it down horribly, given that anyone who grew up listening to country music will automatically think of Kenny Rogers' "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town." But Jon more than makes up for that error with other songs like It's Just Me, Every Word Was a Piece of My Heart, Staring at Your Window... I also love that Jon does write the majority of the songs on his solo CDs alone. You really get an idea of who Jon is as a songwriter. That's something you don't get with collaborations.
