4.0 out of 5 stars I waited and waited........I wasn't disappointed, April 21, 2003

Let me share my bias first. Doc Powell's recordings have caught my attention for years. Not because he was my favorite vocalist's guitarist for many years, but because his tunes caught my ear when I would put the Smooth Jazz station from DirecTV on at home. His tunes always made for nice background music.

This CD engages you. Several different sytles including Doc's homage to several other well known artists, George Benson, Marvin Gaye and EW&F. The title track should do very well on radio but the meat to this CD are the rest of the other tunes. Now if only I could visit 97th & Columbus. Until then, this CD will do just fine!

If you are like me and love many different styles of music this cd is for you."The Flavour" has a cool spanish guitar vibe to it."Breezin" is a great cover of the George Benson classic."97th & Columbus" is a sunny day at the beach song while "Two Hearts" has that late night jazz club sound."Sun Goddess" is a smooth but funky version of the Ramsey Lewis funk jazz classic."Thank You" and "Ode to Chet" i believe are tributes to legendary guitar player Chet Atkins who also mixed pop,country and jazz on his albums.Check out the albums "Sails" and "Stay Tuned" By Chet.Doc closes the cd with an incredible cover of the Marvin Gaye monster hit 'What's going on'.Highly recomended cd.

Doc Powell has always been one of my favorite guitarists and I was not disappointed with this CD. I enjoy his renditions of "Breezin" and "What's Going On", as well as the songs "Ode To Chet" and "Two Hearts". "Two Hearts" reminds me somewhat of his great cut "Charlene" from the Laid Back CD.
