Australian keyboardist Doley matches his rock-solid chops with sophisticated songwriting and wraps class-act production around it all.  Soulful strains from various roots- with a detectable fondness for the New Orleans variety- here meet with sharp, memorable lyric sets.  Strong horn sections and vocal backup- and Mr. Doley’s ear-catching Hammond B3 work- finish off an attractive package.  Strong tracks include “Disbelief”, “Lose It” and the title track.
