Deluxe edition including six bonus tracks including "Nature Boy" (from Moulin Rouge), "I'll Stand By You [Duet with Helene Fischer],", and "I Can See Clearly Now". The making of the original album and the title have been very cathartic for Josh. He wanted to go back to basics, and interpret songs that make him feel good, are a blast to sing, and most importantly, are songs that fans have asked for. Josh has performed many of them on the road and in other settings in the past few years. The album is essentially a collection of timeless songs along with two originals. Highlights include "The Impossible Dream" (from the play and film the Man of La Mancha), "The World We Knew (Over and Over)" (popularized by Frank Sinatra); "Angels" (popularized by Robbie Williams), "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (popularized by Roberta Flack), "It's Now or Never" (popularized by Elvis Presley), "Celebrate Me Home" (popularized by Kenny Loggins) and "I Can't Make You Love Me". Special guest appearances on the album include an amazing duet with Leslie Odom Jr (TONY award for Hamilton on Broadway) on "Shape Of My Heart" (popularized by Sting), plus a stunning duet with Sara Bareilles of the Joni Mitchell song "Both Sides Now", and Kirk Franklin bringing his unique blend of energy and a choir to a new and timely original called "The Fullest".
