A consistently satisfying, unapologetically optimistic rock 'n' roll platter plump with hooks and hummable melodies a la Marshall Crenshaw, Elvis Costello (albeit minus his mordant wit) and Orange County pop mainstay Walter Clevenger. Edwards' yearning croon is well-suited to the romantic plea "The Next Time You Go," but he's equally adept at revving up his guitar for bouncy, radio-ready sing-alongs like "All About You" and "It Doesn't Get Better Than This," with tight, energetic support from drummer Mike "Soupy" Sessa, guitarist/keyboardist Robbie Rist and bassist Ted Kamp.
