Another favorite of ours is “Come Back Home,” a beautiful and haunting song has the listener enjoying the influence of Jimi Hendrix, along with a hint of the Doors classic, “Five To One.” Here’s a song that recalls the first generation of classic rockers of the late sixties!
The closing track on the album, “Peace” begins with a sweet, melodic slow groove, and builds from there. Rein’s guitar playing throughout the song is pure beauty, and very soothing. Listeners will revel as she channels her inner Stevie Ray Vaughn here.
