I love this album, any time I'm feeling down, I put it on and it always moves me in a very emotional way from laughter and awe at his talented guitar work (Corn Cob Soup), to the emotional plea in (Someone Call an Angel Down). The rebelious (Warshack)and(Jaded Are My Wings)to the spiritual (Heaven) and (The End of the World). I have followed Derek throughout his career, and he never ceases to amaze me with his talent. For those who have never heard his music, you're missing some of the best music since Robbie Robinson. A rising star to be reckoned with.

This is an amazing CD...buy it!! I discovered it in Albuquerque at the Native American museum and couldn't get enough of it on our road trip to Marfa, Texas and back...it cures the blues in Connecticut, too.

I am giving it as a gift to family and friends as well.

I was in a state of awe after listening to this album which although was release a few years ago, was very new to me. For a first album to contain such spirit, talent and genre diversity is refreshing. I was moved by every song on the cd, which was also a first for me. This cd should be in every household worldwide.

I first heard Derek Miller's "Call an Angel Down" while reading the closing credits of the indie movie "Older than America," a movie released in 2009. The voice and melody touched my heart. I looked up the musician, then came here to Amazon to order the entire album, and do not regret the purchase. This is one impressive album for someone of little name recognition in the US and it deserves national play.

This is a well-mixed album. There are four songs I especially like: "Wheels on Fire," "Heaven," "Call an Angel Down" and "Jaded are my Wings," an especially bluesy song. The songs range from heart-tugging swaying to downright foot-stomping blues and emotions go through the range as well. Derek's voice is unique and well-suited to the blues.

Anyone who enjoys bluesy rock should listen to this CD.
