5.0 out of 5 stars Eric changes it up a bit, great stuff!, April 24, 2008

Eric Sardinas is one of the precious few artists on the scene today that combines an original instrumental technique with a constant payment of homage to traditional American music--blues, here performed on his trusty Dobro, acoustic and electric, as usual. On this CD, Eric has a little less "attitude" (he was downright ANGRY on his first CD!), and more variety in his songs, which, BTW, showcase his fine songwriting abilities. There's a touch of pop rock and soul in some of the tunes, and it makes for a very interesting record. Not quite as much slide guitar showboating as on his first two albums, but I understand that he doesn't want to run that stuff into the ground. It's more about the songs, here. GREAT version of As The Crow Flies, a tune notably covered years ago by Rory Gallagher, another slide guitar master. Eric hasn't forgotten his influences.

Highly recommended for REAL music fans, a dying breed, sad to say. If Eric had popped onto the scene in the mid-sixties, he probably would have been much more appreciated.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor showing, July 28, 2008

music lover (rugby, warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I have to disagree with the other two reviews. I have waited a few years for this latest effort from Eric, we were teased a couple of years ago by Eric into believing we were going to be given a live cd/dvd, (which is LONG overdue), listening to this release is dissapointing, only a couple of good tracks, hence two stars. Please do not buy this before any of his other CD's, and if you do decide to buy it, then sorry, I did warn you. I bought it blind and thought Eric would have put some of his magic on it, sadly, it is poor and had I bought this before seeing him, then I would not have attended any of his very rare gigs over here in the UK. A live cd would have kept the ball rolling, this release has slowed it down.
