The album was recorded with American vocalist / multi-instrumentalist / songwriter Randall BramblettFind albums by this artist, guitarist Warren HaynesFind albums by this artist and about a dozen other contributors. The album presented fourteen original songs, most written by Glover and a few by Bramblett. This reissue adds five demo recordings recorded some years before the album was recorded and a much improved design and packaging. Musically the album is pure Classic Rock, with strong American influences (Allman Brothers BandFind albums by this artist and others) and far removed from the Deep Purple heavy sound. The songs are all very melodic and present Glover as a seasoned songwriter. Several guitarists contribute excellent guitar solos, which are the main instrumental contribution on this album, on top of keyboards background, solid rhythm section and a few brass section parts on selected songs. Overall, the album a great collection of excellent Rock songs, superbly executed and full of grace and elegance. The music is definitely retro oriented and sounds more like something recorded back in the 1960s rather than four decades later, which of course is all for the best. For Classic Rock lovers this is a real treat!

Haynes and his guitar are trademarks of contemporary US Blues-Rock and they kick bottoms. Warmly recommended!
