singer-songwriter Vince Bell . It was released onApril 13 ,1999 and found Bell comfortably ensconced in the upper echelon of the songwriting guild and signed to a major record label. Unfortunately, whatever marketing there was presented him as just another singer/songwriter, as if they were all cut from the same Texan cloth, and the album remains largely unheard.Track listing
