While Bob Woodruff’s take on the Supremes’ gem “Stop In The Name Of Love”- in which the classic Motown lament is seemingly sifted through Gram Parsons’ “Hot Burrito #1”- will likely garner the most initial attention, there’s plenty of heartache and urgency to go around throughout his current set.  The ironic close to the leadoff track, “I Didn’t Know”, gives this song lasting emotional punch.  Standing out as well are “I’m Losing You”, “What Is Heaven” and the title track.
