Dallas Smith has had a fair bit of success in Canada, recording rock edged melodic tunes, so it only makes sense he'd go over to America eventually. When it was announced he will, I was excited. Than I heard his lead single "Tippin' Point" and I wasn't. Thankfully, it's far and away the weakest song on the EP. 

It kicks off with a feel good jam titled "Slow Rollin'", which feels like rock-edged vintage Keith Urban to my ears. It sounds very good indeed. Next up is the earnest but uptempo "This Town Ain't a Town". 

My personal favorite is track 4, "A Girl Like You", a charming and genuine tune with the narrator introducing himself to a new woman. "Wrong About That" has a few borderline cringe-worthy lines, but it's relatively solid. It finishes off with a stripped down live version of Canadian smash "Jumped Right In".

It's nothing lyrically outstanding, but it does give me hope that Dallas Smith can not only be a star outside of Canada, but also release good music while doing so.
