This collection opens with the midtempo and refreshing “Rose Garden” and it is followed by the upbeat and funky title track “I’ve Got Something To Say” and he slows down the pace with the resonant “Adrift.” His lyrics are pure poetry.
“Long Black Cadlillac Train” is a sultry and bluesy ballad, where he showcases great control over his voice, and it immediately breaks into the nonchalant “Creole Lady.” Equally noteworthy is the harking “Loving You Like Old Times.”
After the haunting “The Pendulum Swings,” it closes with the liberating “Escape From Bull Run” and “Here We Are,” which has a rock edge to it, and leaves fans wanting to hear more.
