Review Text
THANX hard blues wailin' torch paean to curbside courtesans, carnal persuasions, and backstreet treats---my, my, mercy. Tasty licks courtesy of 'Smitty' Michael Smith---big blues bump by Pat 'Moneyshot' Mehan. COMMON GROUND some positive thoughts regarding where we might get to if we can get over ourselves---show me. AMAZED BY LOVE expresses the vertigo of realizing you have fallen---fantastic sax blown by Steve Munger, romantic keys from Brent Pendleton. BLOODGROOVE explores the enigma of the 'shift' in MMXII---get your kicks before the shit-house blows! Backwards guitar weirdness via Smitty. RAINY DAY LADY an affectionate acoustic afterthought---reveals why Jesus made Seattle under protest. BEGUILED moves into the holodimensional fringe of addiction, alternate personalities, and clarity in the eye of the storm. LITANY pushes a haunting Celtic folk-riff with layered electric mayhem to climax---explodes in a soundscape of DeMillian intensity! SUP (Suspiciously Unspecific Phluff) it's good to ya' and good fo' ya'---super-sax-section by Munger, soulful keys from Brent. MEAD is honey---achin' blues harp by Mark Brosz. STORMKINGGNIKMROTS MOONDOG is for John Lennon. MDDRDX takes it back to the crossroads for negotiations with the darkside---revisits the seminal blues exchange which creates our magnificent obsession.
