    I'm speechless. Again, these master musicians assembled this project from the ground up, one note at a time, as close to the original as possible. And they manage to do so without flailing themselves all about the area. Good musicianship IS the show, for these folks, and I am deeply appreciative.

    This song is 40 years old as I write this. Maybe the sounds on Wild Eyed Southern Boys is dated, but the material is ageless. What a great interpretation this is! True to the original, and a great tribute to the guitar talent that is Jeff Carlisi. Overlooked and underrated.

When he goes to the upper register in this song his voice is still thick even into head voice. Well done. Intonation is spot on. I was listening for the underlying guitar riffs. Nailed it.
