“Come Home” is a ballad with an aching heart. This slower, beautiful track is a heart-felt plea from one lover to another. The acoustic feel of this melancholy and passionate song will tug at your emotions. Also on the slower side are “Drive”, “Something’s Broken”, “Hollywood”, and “Back And Forth”. Even through these acoustic, singer-songwriter style tracks are more sombre than the rest, you can still feel the influences of the Beach Boys and Weezer in there. The passion is never over-bearing, the woebegone emotion never out of sync. Willie slows it down without coming to a complete stop.
The sunny-side favourites are “Shake It Up Baby”, “Wake Up June”, “So Perfect” and “On The Way Back Home”. The last song is Willie’s comical taken on being stuck in traffic, on a hot day, with no air conditioning, and then getting stuck behind a little old lady doing 15 in a 50 zone. You won’t be able to keep the laughter from bubbling up.
