This album appears to have been released little over a year and a half after the last album "Everything in Between."

The music is great, however you will notice that of the 12 songs on this CD, five (5) are from the first CD:
The Way I Feel; Carolina; 5:19; I Will Not Take My Love Away; and With You, Tonight.


Still love the music, I think he's a great artist and his songs are well written and performed, but I sorta wish it wasn't half recycled stuff.

I pre-ordered this CD, and it was in my mailbox when I came home from evacuating from Ike. And I haven't stopped listening to it since. It is an amazing CD. Matt seems to play the music that everyone can relate to. "5:19" is a song I sing EVERY TIME I look at the clock and see it's the 19th minute of any hour (I've even caught a couple of 5:19's... and I have the song stuck in my head the rest of the day). "Keep Faith" is my fav of Matt's new attempts at what he does best: write and sing music, and he does an amazing job on this song. As I have all the CDs, you think I'd be angry half of the songs are songs we've heard before...but the opposite is true! I was ESPECIALLY pleased to see "I Will Not Take My Love Away", since that is hands-down my favorite Matt song of all. If you still need convincing that the stuff on this album is good, "I Will Not Take My Love Away" is even my wedding song. Is that proof enough? Bottom line: BUY THIS CD. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

I was in Pier 1 Imports last night and heard this song (Summer Sun) playing in the store that I just fell in love with! I actually wrote down the name of the song, so I wouldn't forget (being middle-aged and all, ha!). I checked the web site this morning and this is incredible music - it reminds me of Gerry Rafferty and Rupert Holmes somewhat (did I say I was middle-aged?). Like another reviewer, I don't understand why Wertz isn't all over the airwaves! He should be! Keep it comin' Matt!

This CD is a compilation of many of Matt Wertz' best hits over the last several years. For a long-time fan like me most of this CD was not new, however I can never get enough of his classics. A great CD to introduce your friends to Matt Wertz!

If you like listening to music that just makes you feel better about life, this is it. I saw Matt Wertz in concert and liked him so much that I bought this album. I'm a huge Dave Barnes fan, and their music styles although not identical are similar. Recommended for listening in the car on a road trip with your significant other!
