This is already on my list of must have albums of the year!

Keep on Kocking, Hit’s Me  are  just a fun driving songs.

Soon, Take Another Look echoes the voice of Benjamin Orr …. beautiful songs…

I love how this album picks up where they left off… it’s a time capsule … need to pull out my Wayfarers and skinny ties…
