This week for the CD of the week we take a trip back a couple of years and who do we happen upon? None other than singer/song writer/producer extraordinaire Butch Walker. Butch lost his house in the SoCal wildfires last year which was a pretty big bummer as he lost all of the originals of his recordings and a bunch or other sentimental items. I can only assume this albums masters were also lost and what bummer that is. From the opening strums of “Maybe It’s Just Me” to the latter “The Best Thing You Never Had” this album spans the all sorts of rock elements.

Weaving piano, acoustic and electric covered over by some rich vocals this is in my top 10 albums of all time. Nothing beats driving out on the open road and just playing this album from start to finish. It covers ranges of emotions and tells stories that will leave you wishing this was the first half of a two-part album. Alas it isn’t. Do yourself a favor and go pick this album up today. Obligatory Amazon Link.
