There's an old soul in Cas Lucas' young body. What wonders where kids like this get such strong world-weary emotions coursing through their throats. On the disconsolate "Home," Lucas reveals, "I found home at the bottom of a bottle," his voice lacking the raspy ache of an aging bluesman but even more troubling because it sounds like the voice of bruised innocence.
Mesmerizing guitar picking throughout with Lucas spinning a web with his strings; they should call him Spider-Man for the knots and tangled structures he creates with his fingers. This ain't no simple strumming, lads; Lucas is one talented fellow, a gifted songwriter with a magician's touch on the acoustic guitar.

"Giving It Back" is independent music in its purest form, free from any trends or hip stylings. "Dream A Window" is a laidback, appealing tale of escape that has more melody and heartfelt emotion than much of what you'll hear on college radio these days. "Feel You" touches Lucas' spiritual side, hinting at Gospel while grooving to the blues.
