It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of David Crosby’s most impressive releases ever.
This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy if you're even mildly into Rock music.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Cowboy Movie, track 6 - Traction In The Rain, and track 9 - I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Music Is Love. Wow!
