The collection of six songs opens with a catchy melody titled, “Where That Beer’s Been.” With a spanky guitar figure setting the mood, Denning’s Southern husky voice sings a story of friends, beer, and life. The energy of the song is contagious as the big chorus drives the tune forward. The guitar parts are excellent. Denning varies his voice with each pass, keeping the song ever fresh and evolving.

His voice is full and rich as he brings the Southern draw out in all the right places. The emotion he sings of is something we can all relate to and enjoy. The song has a form that has different levels of intensity, and Denning matches them with his vocal inflection and presence.
