• The newest studio recording once again brings together Gregory Hoskins, drummer Gary Craig and bassist George Koller to pick up where The King of Good Intentions left off. Pianist Jonathan Goldsmith sits in on 4 tracks, the phenominal Serena Ryder sings smoke on Never A Stranger Kiss, Paul Reddick tarts up Stand (and lends a vocal to Beautiful Parade) and Kurt Swinghammer rounds out the guest list playing a ton of guitar on The Man I Am. The Beggar Heart is darker and has more swagger than its' predecessor, but Hoskins is ever hopeful here.
