If, like me, you turned to this album in search of the late fifties, sixties-type music that Goffin was writing, you might be in for something of a shock.
Once I had got over mine, I liked the work overall, and got to like it more as it went on. It is 'heavier' than you might expect. The guitar work is good, and Goffin comes across sounding something like a rock-blues Bob Dylan, without the nasal twang, or Tom Waits.
Standout tracks: Sacred Heart of Stone, Relief & Rough Theology.
