The LP starts with the track ‘All In The Name’. It has a gentle guitar sound at the start and a catchy drum beat kicks in. The vocals start and are amazing. It’s a great county rock sound that’s very upbeat music-wise, but the lyrics are a bit on the sad side and sound very heartfelt and it’s about love that fails.

The track ‘Down Range’ has a gentle piano at the start and the vocals start over the top. It’s very soothing and catchy; the vocals of Angeleena Presley start and are beautiful. It’s again a very heartfelt song – this duet is amazing. The track ‘The Fire’ starts with an eerie sound then the acoustic guitar begins and the vocals are great. It’s a very county sound and catchy. The lyrics are great, it has the backing vocals of Angeleena Presley and it’s very beautiful.

The track ‘Standing On A Star’ starts with beautiful acoustic guitar riffs and the electric guitar starts along with the vocals. It’s a rockier sound than the previous tracks but the lyrics again are very heartfelt. The track ‘Run And Smoke’ has a very catchy beat at the start with electric guitar riffs.
