Title: Saxmania
Product review: WXRT in Chicago used to be a fairly equal opportunity radio station and everyonce in a while a DJ would search and take a chance. Back around 1989/1990, Johnny Reno's "Take the long way home tonight" received a decent amount of air time. I heard it and loved it. When he came to Chicago to promote, he rocked this place on Lincoln Avenue. Definitely one of the best small venue, live acts to this day. While his sax playing is in your face and rockin', his song writing leaves a bit to be desired. However, after further listenings, songs like "I saw Elvis in the Sky" and others start to grow. Sometimes this sounds like a roadhouse college band, but sax players like Johnn Reno deserve a generous amount of support. Buy this if you like good, foot stomping, visceral energy albums. Maybe more like 3.5 STARS.
