Why by Steve Wynn is a powerful and introspective album that showcases the singer-songwriter's talent for creating rich and evocative music. From the opening track "The Impossible," Wynn sets a brooding and atmospheric tone that carries throughout the entire album. His lyrics are poetic and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Silence Is Your Only Friend," a haunting ballad that showcases Wynn's ability to craft deeply emotional songs. His voice is raw and vulnerable, adding to the sense of intimacy and authenticity that permeates the album.
Another highlight is "Why," the title track of the album. It's a driving rock song that features some of Wynn's most dynamic guitar work, and his vocals are full of passion and intensity. The lyrics are ruminative and philosophical, asking the big questions about life and the universe.
