5.0 out of 5 stars Vince puts on a show with Firin Up, September 13, 2003

After Pure Prairie League had released several minor albums in the mid 70's, they hired unknown guitarist/songwriter/vocalist Vince Gill. Their first effort, 1979's Cant Hold Back was a step forward to the prior PPL albums. In 1980, they released "Firin Up" and it brought them their best album. If youre a fan of the Fuller/Powell days, you may beg to differ. The young "rocker" Vince Gill brings in his dancin' shoes for this outstanding album. The best song is the opener "Im Almost Ready." "Give it Up" was not a hit but it souds like it would be right up in the top ten. "Too Many Heartaches in Paradise" and "Youre My True Love" are a little too commercial. "Shes All Mine," "I Cant Stop This Feelin" and "Lifetime of Nighttimes are some very good rockers with great guitars. "Ill Be Damned" and "Janny Lou" sound like they could have been off a Vince Gill album. "Let Me Love You Tonight", the biggest hit off the album, is a good ballad with some good saxaphone.

If you love late 70's rock, or the Joe Walsh version of The Eagles, buy this album. It sounds like nothing by PPL, or Vince, but it is still a great sound.

I haven't heard Firin' Up in a while but as I recall, I liked every track on it. If your curious about Vince Gill as a rocker this disc is tons o fun. This is not the PPL that recorded "Amy", Craig Fuller was long gone by this time. ( on to join Little Feat ) but they carried the torch into the early days of alt.country and country rock.

From way back in the day. This is one that has stood the times, great country-rock of the 70's. Good songs, good playing, a great cd for the road or just to kick back and listen to on the back porch.
