Favorite Goat Song/Reason
Having worked on our second CD, I really think the Goats have matured as a band. I would say a few that hit me are; “The Deeper You Look “, Something To Tell You”, I think it was the first song I wrote, which set the tone for the rest of the CD, “Home Sick Blues” with a good rock n soul feel , “Time To Recall” more blues/rock and “Look Inside” seems to be one I keep coming back to all the time, but really, I like-em all.

Miscellaneous Opinions
It’s exciting to play live with a new focused, talented band, and I look forward to touring with the new CD this summer and seeing the Goat herd again. “Keep It Rollin”’
