Negative Positive
Title: Mostly B material from an A grade band...
Review: If there were no other Roomful of Blues releases to compare this to WYWYG this CD might fair better, but as it stands, it sounds like B side material to me. There are couple of moments where you can smell smoke but for the most part, I was disappointed. I agree with a previous reviewer in the lead singer has a voice you either love or hate. For me it's his vocals that drag the CD down to what sounds like a better than average bar room band not the wicked engine of "Under One Roof", "There Goes the Neighborhood" or "Turn It Up!". To be fair, Odom has his moments (Your Love Was Never There), but over all his efforts were a miss for me. Some of the horn arrangements are just average too.Hoping for a little more octane in the future...
