Not Going Nowhere
I heard from your mom that you cried out last night For a certain someone to turn on the lights You found that someone was not by your side And Mom... See the rest of the song lyrics
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 6
  2. Negative: 0 out of 6
  1. Here is a man unafraid to rep for the drippiest balladeer ever, Dan Fogelberg--and no one will call Edmonds on it, because his restraint and care eliminate any sense of the maudlin.
  2. Passion, not laid-backness, rules on Playlist, a set of originals and covers.
  3. Sonic sap threatens everything here, but Edmonds usually manages to stave off Hallmark ickiness with an ear-tickling detail or two.
  4. Everything is suited for Babyface, often to the point where the songs don't sound tremendously different from what he has written during the last several years.
  5. His performance throughout is solidly heartfelt.
  6. However a hard sell this album may be, though, it’s a satisfying trip down memory lane.
