David Keiser

Obstacles - Another slow song (not a ballad), sung by Mark Mikel, who, again, sounds like David Paton in places here, particularly, when he emphasizes the word "OBSTACLES" in the lyrics. Regardless, this is a good album. Goin' Home - Parsons sings lead vocal on this lyric version of Dvorak's Largo from his Symphony No. I can't compare it to anything Parsons has done previously, but it does have his unmistakable touch to it.

Not an opener, not a mid - album treat, and not a closer. I was hoping he would release another album in three years, just like he used to back in the '90s, so I'm happy to have this album. It's a very catchy tune sung by Mark Mikel and has that classic Parsons sound to it, especially Jeff Kollman's guitar solo at the end. Parsons' legacy is intact, and it would be fitting for him to have his final album (if that is what this is) come out on the 40th anniversary of "Eye in the Sky," his biggest hit.

I Won't Be Led Astray - David Pack (Ambrosia), who has sung on some of Parsons previous albums, sings lead vocals on this ballad with Parsons contributing backing vocals. "In a Dream Within A Dream, We saw beyond the sky, And drew a constellation in the shape of Gemini.

Some songs are catchy, others aren't, but I hope any fan of Parsons would find at least something here to enjoy. By the way, am I the only one who thinks Mikel sounds like David Paton?

Halos - Much has been said about this song already. " This really reminded me of that and it's part of what makes this song stand out. !
