Title: tasteful fusion, southern-fried
Product review: I would have to disagree with the previous review in the sense that I wouldn't call this jam band music at all. Instead, it seems to me to fall into the jazz fusion arena a'la Jeff Beck "Wired" and "Blow By Blow," with a southern flavor that reflects the previous bands these players have been in. There are many Little Feat moments that arise from the rhythm section, but remember that Little Feat were very tight ensemble players. There are also quite a few Dixie Dregs moments in here, too--at times making you think that Steve Morse has snuck up and grabbed the guitar.This is highly-arranged music, but doesn't come off overly structured because truly great musicians can always find ways to mix in soloing to sound spontaneous yet tight. If you love great playing, stop-on-a-dime instrumental arrangements, and a hint of southern greasiness, you'll love this record.
