The quality branching out begins, however, with a pair of fingerpicking instrumentals - "Lickity Bit" and "Transition" - and the swinging jazz-blues of "Woke Up This Morning. Of less interest is synthetic pap like "Dig a Little Deeper" and the ballady, gushily optimistic "Let Love Conquer All" and "Heaven In Your Heart.
Ipso Facto was the last Rik Emmett album to feature a band as writers, following albums would focus entirely on Rik himself, beginning with The Spiral Notebook three years later, in 1995.
