This work is the culmination of the experience and skills cultivated over a long career. While maintaining the foundation of hard rock, it develops more sophisticated songwriting. As the title suggests, it is both a return to the roots and a breakthrough. It is a fulfilling album that exudes the ease and depth that only a veteran can have.
