After 40 years in music, Thomas is older, wiser, and content. Thomas confesses \u201cI used to be a bit of a maniac control freak, but now I just delight in what other people bring to the party\u201d and that is really the defining mood of the album, being comfortable in your own skin and with your place in the big picture. \u00a0While not sounding dated or nostalgic, it is out of step with current music trends and would fit in with the late \u201870s California country-pop sound. To put it in a more modern context, if you like The Deep Dark Woods recent single, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nr5PhqLqing\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cCharlie\u2019s (Is Coming Down),\u201d<\/a> you\u2019ll more than likely enjoy <em>Little Dreams<\/em>. The album reunites Thomas with The Boomers bandmate, Peter Cardinali, and also features guest appearances by Kevin and Gary Breit, Molly Johnson and Lunch At Allen\u2019s cohorts Marc Jordan and Murray McLauchlan. It won\u2019t win many new fans, but existing fans will be thrilled with Thomas\u2019s latest offering.
