For this album review, James McMurtry delivers another top tier exploration of mortality, empathy, and existential crises that would be among the best of 2025 if it wasn't for one issue...

Best Songs: 'South Texas Lawman’, ‘The Color Of Night’, ‘Pinocchio In Vegas’, ‘Annie’, ‘Sons of the Second Sons’, ‘Sailing Away’
Worst Song: ‘Back to Coeur d’Alene’
