For those who just remember Shaky's hits in the 80s, this is a completely different kettle of fish. Moving lyrics and passionate vocals with a classic rock sound tinged with blues, country and folk. Serious themes of mental health, memories of lost family, the online world, corporate greed, deceit, refugees, heavy drinking, and global warming. From the heartfelt opener, George, with just Shaky and a piano, to the rousing call to action of the closer and title track, Re-Set, this is a beautiful, surprising, brilliant album.
