Review by Janet Spahr (Pebbles)
Ok first listen on CD player then with headphones! I just can't believe how beautiful this CD is. All the songs just flow so well together and there are all GREAT! Like there's always 1 song on a CD you say OH I could do without THAT one! No No not here.

I have to say in general that I love hearing the piano as well as guitar. Now I realize why Kasim wanted a piano on this tour. What was the decision on that? It does seem like the music has grown from previous works.

Sacrifice - A great opener for this CD - Very upbeat-I'm really lovin this song. Vocals are clear and perfect.

Before She Was Gone - From the beginning chords of this song-it has me hooked. It makes me want to cry, but in a beautiful way. The background vocals are really cool too.

The One Sure Thing - Sounds really full-it's just a beauitful song. It is put together perfectly. I love "All the Kasims" harmonizing. It's awesome. Can you clone yourself for the shows?

We The People - this is a great song "celebrate because we believe in these innocent wings". It's a great feel good about us song. AND...I DANCED to it!!! Oh yes I did! (dUg-OUTSTANDING! guitar-It's so cool you are on this CD!)

Where Is My Soul - I can see why this was picked to cover. Getting a little spiritual-I love that. It fits perfectly.

Heaven Help The Child - I'll be the first to admit it brought tears to my eyes. (I hope that doesn't happen at the shows-people will think I'm NUTS-ok but more people will). You all know I have my little girl-this song does speak to me.

Over For Now - yes this song sounds like a 50's sock hop song and it's so cool! Just close your eyes and sway

Don't Hold Me Back - A LIVE ONE! Wooooo HOOOOOO! Yes I'm diggin it-it will seal the memories of all those shows this song opened it up for Kasim

Remember - I love the lower quality of Kasim's voice on this song. The piano is nice to hear.

Goodbye - Do I love the guitar work?---I do. A fitting song to end the CD. (Hey dUg, Kasim is copying Isle of Q)

Thanks Frank for the heads up on the hidden track cuz I would not have found it! Duh! It is like the Kasim rock coming out!

Now-I guess you know how I feel. But I have to say THANK YOU KASIM. You see we have this beautiful music for the rest of our lives-I hope you take away something that you can keep for the rest of your life. Otherwise "Quid Pro Quo".....it's not a fair deal.

I am the live music freak.....I cannot wait to see you perform.
