Highlights are many and include the rock-star bravado of the first single 'Dirty Sticky Floors', the quiet awe of 'Stay' and the wonderful equilibrium of 'A Little Piece'. That's been the train of thought throughout this record and Ken's been really great with that." "I wanted to hear something that makes me feel good. "What really hit me most was how happy and fulfilled it made me feel," Dave says with a smile.
