Whit Smith´s three original tunes are darker in mood, but equally remarkable. He is particularly proud of »It Stops With Me,« a tune which he feels is representative of the band´s new sound -- a synthesis of traditional and contemporary music into a coherent, entertaining, and intensely personal hybrid. Also notable is Smith´s reinterpretation of Aerosmith´s hard-rock classic »Chip Away The Stone.« Done (without a smidgen of irony) in the style of a Jimmie Rodgers ballad, their version epitomizes all that is great about great songs -- a good melody, and honest and accessible lyrics that work regardless of the musical paradigm of their delivery.
