Choice track "Smile," dedicated to Steve Smith's late father, came to him in a dream. Joining Steve Smith on this homage is violinist Jay Ungar to make this a truly beautiful track. Jay Unger happened to write a score that in turn was Steve Smith's father's favorite piece. Steve Smith came upon Jay Ungar playing at a local church and asked him to play on this track. This song is dream and coincidence all in one. I am sure his father is smiling right now.

"That Town" is technically the close of the CD. The song sounds almost like a remix of "This Town," but it is not noted anywhere on the CD insert. The song has more of a techno-pop feel at the beginning a la Chemical Brothers and ends with something you might dance out to at an Ibiza club.

As an added treat, there are two bonus songs on the CD, the first being "Late Nights and Street Fights." This song was the main theme for Fox's now canceled series Standoff. If you have not heard this song, you should check it out. I like it a lot as it reminds me of some of the high energy rock bands out there that are not plagued on the recurring radio waves.

For those of you who were curious to hear the original version of "Days Go By," it might sound like you will not go unfulfilled, as it is the last track on the CD. This is the Steve Osbourne Mix, but still is much different than that of the Dirty Vegas version. I much prefer the acoustic over the overplayed techno. For a song that was a dance club sensation, I have a feeling that more people were listening to the beats over the lyrics. Now that the dance clubs are closed and your clothes are sweat free, it is time to actually listen to the song for what it was intended to be: a love song.

Kudos to Steve Smith for not throwing in the towel once Dirty Vegas fell off the charts. This CD was great to listen to and I will be listening to it many times over. If you find yourself a fan of bands like Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, or even Travis, you should check out what Steve Smith has created. Underneath this DJ lies a musician who had a calling to record this CD, a dream about one of the songs, and the enthusiasm to go through with it. These are the types of musicians I respect.
