1. "Free Flight" (Pinera)
This one doesn't appear to make sense until later in the album. It's basically a snippet of "Butterfly Bleu." If you put this piece in context with the album, it actually works pretty well as a brief intro.

2. "New Day" (Ingle/Bushy/Dorman/Pinera/Reinhardt)
Right from the beginning guitar riff here, you know that the Butterfly have indeed made a change. This song has a bluesy feel to it, a trait that most of the rest of the album shares. The new band lineup works well here, the two guitars blending together to form a soaring solo in the middle of the song. In addition, Ingle and Pinera have very similar sounding voices, and they compliment each other nicely throughout the album. This is a good way to start the festivities.

3. "Shady Lady" (Robert Woods Edmonson)
This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. It's got a certain sultry groove that makes it fun to listen to, and to sing along with once you learn the words. Doug sounds great, both on vocals and electric piano/organ (he got rid of the Vox!), and the rest of the band is right up there with him, creating a solid tune. The bluesy vibe is strong on this one. Great song!

4. "Best Years Of Our Life" (Pinera)
This is probably my favorite song on the album. The band is tight and rockin', the message is simple and positive, and the guitars are loud and proud! Pinera tackles the lead vocals with a passion here, and it definitely pays off. This one will make you happy to be alive!

5. "Slower Than Guns" (Ingle/Edmonson)
Here's where Doug and cowriter Robert Woods Edmonson get introspective. This is a purely acoustic track, gentle and soft, the epitome of lightness. Conversely, the message contained within is stone-cold sober, a reflection of the damage caused by pollution. That having been said, it still contains a tiny bit of humor ("DDT makin' bugs relax..."). A very nice effort.

6. "Stone Believer" (Pinera/Dorman)
Another foray into blues/rock, this is also a stand-out track. Ingle and Pinera trade off vocals here, and it's a challenge telling where one ends and the other begins. This song is fun to listen (and sing along) to, and it definitely has a good groove. Crank the volume up here!

7."Soldier In Our Town" (Ingle/Edmonson)
Another introspective track by Ingle and Edmonson. This one combines acoustic and electric guitars nicely, and is a great example of soft blues/rock. It's really kind of a sad song when you consider the lyrics. A GOOD sad song.

8. "Easy Rider (Let The Wind Pay The Way")(Ingle/Edmonson/Pinera)
This one is a straight-ahead rocker, and it accomplishes its mission very well. It will knock your socks off the first time you listen to it, with the dual guitar attack and Ron Bushy's pounding rhythm section driving it on. It's a shame that they didn't come out this one before the movie of the same name, it would have made a killer theme song! (But then, where would "Born To Be Wild" be now?)

9. "Butterfly Bleu" (Pinera)
It's fitting that this should be the last track on the album, as it comes to signify the Butterfly's swan song. It is bluesy to the max, and yet it also manages to pull off some post-"Vida" psychedelia. The sound here varies from almost "spacey" to bluesy slide-guitar to primitive talk-box excursions. In the end however, it drops back into the blues vein up until the end, when Pinera's vocal seems to soar off with the title butterfly. A logical album closer.
