Another outstandingly fresh yet familiar album from Cory Wong

Cory Wong continues to surprise me, which has become a rare event given my 40+ years as a music fan and a musician. While his compositions have a pleasing familiarity, he adds a soulful dimensionality coupled with endearing, genuine humility & humor that congeals into an inspiring and reaffirming experience. Every track on this latest album succeeds on all of these levels. In particular, "Meditation" is a deceptively simple yet stunning composition that I think will touch each listener differently. As great as his albums are, his live performances are exceptionally special, as he pours his heart and soul into every note. Although better known through Vulfpeck, I submit that Cory is on a higher plain, and still progressing higher. I can't wait for his next album.
