Guest Book

Hi backatcha Pam, didn't get to spend as much time with you as I wish I could've! Josh Chasin posted this on the listserv, as part of a big review. I'm putting it here (without permission) just to show you how opinions can differ: "The band goes into the mist after the song ends, perhaps to give the guests time to set up; the drummers play triplets, and eventually the band emerges on the vamp that precedes "You Don't Love Me." Matt Abts is on a kit; Johnny Neel is to Oteil's right on harp, and Brian Stoltz is set up between Derek and Gregg on guitar. Neel plays a killer harp solo; then he and Derek are soloing together over the pre-theme. Warren joins, and the two guitars and harp are playing in unison as the band is finally on the "You Don't Love Me" riff. Neel keeps blazing through Gregg's verse, then takes the first solo. Then Stoltz takes an extremely tasty, tasteful solo. Then Derek's solo leads back into Gregg's vocals. Out of the verses Stoltz again acquits himself nicely; then another vocal section with Neel blowing away. Derek trades licks with, against the band's riff, on to a climactic, grinding wind down. Stellar guest spots; highlight."
