Review by Bill Dahl

As good a place to begin your Casey Jones collection as any, since his vocals remain strong and his songwriting is as pleasing as ever. The title cut, "I Know I Got a Good Woman," and the sinuous "She Treats Me Right" all make highly favorable impressions.

This CD is probably one of the best gypsy music CDs I have ever listened to, if you find Taraf De Haiduks a little bit too much violin, this is the CD for you. The music is so strong that the language seems to become a rather secondary issue, and besides the language is beaytiful. (Roxy Zimmer)

Genre: Blues
Rate: 238 kbps VBR / 44100

Size: 82,82 MB



Release Notes:

Ripping slide guitar and a genre-sweep from classic rock to country blues-rock map the contours of the latest tough but slick album from the UK songwriter Eddie Martin.This album rocks with exciting grooves and hooks-aplenty, masterful slide guitar and harmonica playing. What raises the yardstick above a good-time party album – even though it works on that level if you like – is the songwriting, which combines lyrical depth and passion.

All 10 tracks are original and feature Martin’s trademark gritty emotive vocals and excellent musicianship all-round. It’s a must-buy party record for all generations….but there’s lyrical depth to ponder as well as grooves to move your feet to. (http://www.bluebloodrecords.com)

02 - Something About You Baby (I Like) 05:09

03 - Watching The Weather 04:55

Hmmm...well, let's see. You've got Rocco (bassist for the legendary soul/funk band, Tower of Power), you've got Bruce Conte, you've got Chester Thompson on keyboards, you've got David Garibaldi and Herman Matthews on drums, you've got Biner, Champlin, Grillo, and the incomparable Brent Carter handling the vocals, you've got Kupka/Castillo collaborating on a couple of the tracks:

Hmmm...this is Tower without the Power of the horn section. But what a nice and refreshing change it is! There isn't a throw-away track on this CD, but a couple bear special mention: Brent Carter just really shines on Double Identity and I was especially impressed with Tamara Champlin's vocals on Express Yourself--reminiscent of the Staple Singers. Baby Don't Go features a strong bass line that actually makes you feel the plucking of the guitar strings. I'm So Glad has a unique presence that strikes me every time I hear it. There are also two worthy instrumentals that allow the musicians to shine each in their own right. You ought to get on the bus if you haven't already--it's worth the trip! (amazon.com)



Tracklist:

01 - Solid Like The Rock 03:53

02 - Express Yourself 04:20

03 - Double Identity 04:27

04 - Don't Play Around 04:08

05 - Space For Bass 05:13

06 - Baby Don't Go 04:13

07 - (You Don't) Mean No Harm 04:20

08 - Everybody On The Bus 03:23

09 - Don't Need No Changes 04:23

10 - I'm So Glad 04:06

11 - I Got The Sauce 06:26
