In the late 80s, one of my favorite NJ bands was Red House which was led by Bruce Tunkel. This album returned him to the trademark sound of The Red House: jangling guitars, made popular in the ‘80s through bands like R.E.M and Dumptruck, along with Tunkel’s strong vocals which remind me of Mike Scott from The Waterboys. A few gorgeous ballads are included for good measure as well. All four guys from Red House reunited for the song “The Edge of Your Words” and various members would play on an additional five tracks. The result is a tremendous album that offers a glimpse as to how things might have turned out for the band. My favorite tracks includes "The Way I Feel", "Drift", "Remember Me", "After All", "Jimmy Harper", and “The Edge of Your Words”.
