A second album from singer O'Donnell continues to highlight the fact that she is capable of making enchanting music in the same vein as Carolyn Arends or Considering Lily but is still to release an album that could be called an outright classic. This is polished, accomplished music with catchy songs that scratch the surface of the human condition from the perspective of faith. The songs are penned by her husband Brad O'Donnell, who also co-produced the album and whose skill and sensitivity should be applauded. Two personal tunes close the set and variously demonstrate Erin's sense of humour! 'At Least For Now' looks at marital arguments and the wisdom that leads couples away from confrontation whilst 'When I Grow Old' is a touching song about growing old together. Big aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh everybody!? Aaarrrrhhhhh! Personally I love the catchy sensitivity of 'All Of This' and the jaunty pop of 'Every Word You Say'. Ultimately this is good stuff but Erin has yet to make an album that truly catches fire!
