Bird of Sorrow and Storm are standouts after the first listen. Song of Good Hope is of course amazing, but I'm disappointed that Lucia didnt make the cut.

I'm only half way through the first listen, but man, it's giving me goose bumps!

So excited to go see Glen in Vancouver in October, I'm taking my parents. And my husband and I are seeing him again at the end of Oct at the rescheduled EV Vegas shows.

Awesome live footage 8-) . Check out "High Hope" where he breaks a string and doesn't miss a beat. Can't wait for the pre-order to ship and, moreso, to see him open for Ed.

I just watched tonights performance on Fallon, and it was great. You can feel Glen's passion for his craft even through television signals.

I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom, either; you won't regret helping this kid. :)
