[Rating: 3 STARS]

He’s a gifted and passionate songwriter with a propensity for writing and performing songs of unchained passion. Supported by a tremendous array of musicians, including Josh Wolfson on guitar, George Dum on drums, Peter Case on piano, organ and harmonica, and Greg Leisz on guitar, mandolin and dobro, this is a timeless mix of musical styles highlighted by powerful songs such as “You’ll Never Know,” which cooks with Dum’s great tapestry rhythms, and the celestial “To Live In Heaven.” Produced by Agata with Dum and Bob Aldana, it has a clean, sunny California sound focused by Agata’s fluid vocals. Good stuff.
