"I Won’t Hold You Back" is another favourite song of mine by them.

"I Won’t Hold You Back" is another favourite song of mine by them.

Totally...that's one of the best songs on that amazing album. I love the dynamics of the song as it goes from the soft verses to him belting out the chorus.

The much missed Jeff Porcaro and Toto feature on this air conditioned gem...

I am digging Falling In Between (2006). Heavier & more melodic than I expected…..

Falling In Between

King Of The World

No End In Sight

Overall the album is pretty good. A mix of hard rock, prog metal, a ballad or two, and a funky tune along with a heavy bluesy tune.

3.5/5
