Jewell recorded this after returning home to Idaho after living ten years in the
Northeast. Lots of autobiographical writing here, and fine music.

1 – (3:16) Worried Mind* Pretty mid-tempo country sound, fine.
2 – (2:54) Hallelujah Band* Haunting mid-tempo tune, very nicely done.
3 – (3:22) Rio Grande* Mid-up-tempo song in Tex-Mex style, terrific.
4 – (3:22) Half-Broke Horse* Sweet ballad of home, nostalgic, lovely.
5 – (3:22) My Hometown* Slow anthem to home, pretty imagery, sultry.
6 – (3:40) Needle & Thread* Mid-tempo country crooner, fun.
7 – (2:30) Down The Road Slow, bluesy, moody, decent track.
8 – (3:01) Some Things Weren’t Meant To Be Just so-so breakup song.
9 – (2:30) Pages* Mid-up-tempo shuffle, nice.
10 – (2:20) Green Hills Slow, languid, not much to this track.
11 – (3:17) Here With Me* Sultry, slow seductive crooner, fine.
12 – (3:05) Songbird Decent acoustic tune, Just Eilen & guitar & harmonica.
