Jim Stanard’s profoundly plainspoken vocals and sentiments address issues both highly personal (“She Wants Him To Change”, “Sparks, Nevada”, “Bucket List”) and grand in scope (“Dogs Of War”), reliably delivering appropriate emotional punch.  He spells these moments with sly, wry humor aimed at the opposite sex (“Hard To Please”, “Apex Predator”).  End result: a grows-on-you set from a fresh and highly believable voice.
