Now in his mid-50s and his children grown up there is a sense on his new album Life & Times that Neal Morse is looking around and taking stock. quot;I ve come through a lot of difficult times and I m in a fairly content place now quot; he says. quot;You can feel that on some of the songs.quot; Much of this acoustic-orientated singer/songwriter album was written while he was travelling around the world on quot;The Road Called Homequot; tour in 2017 with some of the songs being inspired by the places he visited while others are from spending time with his family.
