Title: Interesting footnote to the history of John Palumbo/Crack The Sky
Review: It's hard to believe, but I think this is the first John Palumbo-related major label release. The majors ignored Crack The Sky and Palumbo's solo releases (and continue to do so) but, for some reason, BMG picked up Palumbo's one-off Cruel Shoes and issued it in 1992.Musically, yeah, it may be the best Steely Dan album of the 90's. Good to great tunes and very good production (not terribly slick for this type of music). Rick Witkowski adds a bit of guitar here and there....never a bad thing.If you're a Crack The Sky fan who managed to stumble onto this review, by all means pick it up. Even though this music sounds nothing like CTS, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.4 1/2 stars.
Is the review positive or negative?
