When You Were Mine

John Waite

A weathered, acoustic-leaning collection of highway songs and urban vignettes. Waite's raspy tenor finds a new, intimate home in these rootsy pop arrangements.

It's the perfect soundtrack for a solo midnight drive when you're feeling just the right amount of lonely.

A reflective and travel-worn collection that finds beauty in the bittersweet memories of the road.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the gritty interstate imagery of I-95 into the soaring, hopeful refrain of the chorus.
The vulnerable, close-mic delivery on the cover of Just Like a Woman that strips away the original's cynicism for pure longing.
The way the arrangement swells during the final third of Suicide Life, providing a cinematic weight to the album's longest track.
