The CD opens with the nonchalant and mellow “Knocking at Your Door” and it is followed by the stunning “California,” which has neat hooks to it, as well as “Free,” which has a laid-back groove to it.
“Turn It Up Slow” has a retro ’80s vibe to it, while “Miss You All the Time” is melancholic and stirring at the same time. “Be Easy” is a noteworthy acoustic ballad, which features front-man Marc Roberge’s crisp, rumbling voice, and it closes with “Are You For Real,” and with the sultry “Nantucket Is Gone.”
The Mighty is available on iTunes and on Spotify.
