5.0 out of 5 stars As good or better than any Mitchell effort ever!, December 8, 2007

I go all the way back to " Toronto Tontos" days and 'Ain't Life Amazin' rates right up there with the best Max Webster efforts. Of particular note are "I Got A Line"' a harder-driving remake of the Spirit classic; "Space", the tortured lament of a controlled ex-loner; and "Lick a Message", the song most resembling old Max Webster. Some good lyrics and Mitchell's signature guitar efforts and PLENTY of them. There really is not a bad song on the album. If you are a Kim Mitchell fan, an absolute must-have. If you aren't that familiar with Mitchell/Max Webster but you like good-time, unpretentious, sometimes even silly Rock n Roll, "Check, Check, Check this out!"

I was introduced to Kim Mitchell around 1975 when the his former band, Max Webster, opened for Rush. I remember this dude wearing ourageously strange attire just playing some great guitar and performing fresh, original, musically magnificent songs.
Since then, I have bought every Maw Webster and Kim Mitchell recording as they became available. This one easily ranks at or near the top. Fine musicality and lyrics, excellent musicianship overall, and I think perhaps Kim's best recorded studio guitarwork ever. This an album not to miss. Guaranteed enjoyment. Just "Amazing".

I've been holding off on reviewing this on Amazon because the other reviewer pretty much said everything I wanted to say (and said it better). I would very much agree this is right up as one of his all-time best releases. I would only place it second behind Universal Juveniles by Max Webster (which is essentially Kim). For those who are fans of Kim Mitchell, and I can't imagine anyone reading this if they are not, this is by far his best solo effort ever and light years beyond his 1992/97 releases; Itch and Kimosabe. Enjoy.
