I have been waiting for "Opaline" to be released for quite some time. At times the wait has been frustrating (the last two CD's were great!) and it seemed the release date changed many times. I bought this CD the day it was released and have listened to it ever since. "Pet your Friends" rocked me. "And You Think You Know What Life is About" made me think. "Opaline" has taken me to a peace I have never heard from any CD. JR's voice truly hypnotizes and makes you feel as if there wasn't a care in the world. The way the band and JR's voice blend is amazing! My favorite song is "Nashville Skyline". It's beautiful! I am glad Em from Chicago agrees. Some people don't take the time to listen to an entire CD (they only listen to the song being played on the radio) if you buy one CD buy "Opaline" you won't regret it.
