A hodgepodge tribute to the Battersby’s family members, this album includes “Homespun,” “Marathon Man,” “Otherwise I Feel Alright,” “Walk Away,” “You Can’t Judge a Book” (don’t judge others by appearance and be kind to one another), “Nobody Like You and Me,” “Apostrophe and the Marks,” “Pearl,” “Freedom,” “Rhymes,” “My Guitar Speaks for Me,” and “For Evermore.” This down-home album will appeal to the whole family.
