This album features all original songs by Don, and was released in late 1996.
The album was mixed by award winning producer/engineer Nigel Stone at The Games Room in Wellington, and produced by Nigel, Don, and Gary Taylor. Musicians featured include Gary Taylor, James Cameron and backing singers Linda Wilson, Vanessa Higgs, and Tony Hooper.

CDs don’t come much more home-grown than this. Kapiti Coaster Wilson wrote all the songs, provided most of his own backing ( and brought in some slick mates to fill any gaps ), recorded the disc at his home studio and even illustrated the CD cover and booklet with reproductions of his own excellent paintings.Wilson is best-known these days as a solo performer, but his musical CV stretches back to 1970s hit-makers The Heartbreakers and beyond. The songs on this album, he says, span a decade or more. “They have been begging to be set free and I am happy finally to be able to oblige them.Wilson has much in common with another accomplished local singer-songwriter, Stephen Bell-Booth. Both write well-crafted, reflective songs which they deliver with understated but assured musicianship. Unlike Bell-Booth, Wilson doesn’t convey a religious message, but his songs have a certain spiritual quality nonetheless. This mellow, soft-rock album is a labour of love that deserves to sell better than it will.
