The Bottom Line:
Album cobbled together in difficult period with surprisingly strong songwriting and first class production work by Jim Tullio.

Solid Air (remastered & expanded)
23 Oct 2000
The Bottom Line:
Good job well delivered with a bonus track:
Rather Be The Devil from So Far, So Good. The track lasts 6:10, so just as long as the So Far So Good version.

Couldn't Love You More
