Wolf Parade - Call It a Ritual

. . (in post from . Download this at Amazon iTunes)

Inner Urge is the latest release from Rock Sensation Joe Henderson, and I can only think of one word to describe it AWESOME!

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce thats exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

Inner Urge has a pleasantly varied, mix of 5 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. Theyre all here.

If youre a Joe Henderson fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you dont even have to be a fan of Henderson, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - Isotope, track 4 - You Know I Care, and track 5 - Night And Day

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Inner Urge. Its a great track!
