A great record from the start. JR has put together a collection of tunes that truly shows his style and killer "Groove". With some of the best players on the planet contributing, this CD will certainly appeal to his drumming fans, but also anyone who loves great music. I dig all of the horn arrangements as well but "Hair of the Dog" is absolutely slammin'. I was also happy to hear the vocal tunes on the CD, a great change of pace from your typical "Drummers Record". His version of the Foriegner classic "Cold as Ice" is a huge sounding cut. The vocal arrangements and guitar performance on that tune leave the origianl version in the dust. This CD is a must have!

John "JR" Robinson has put together an all-star lineup of some of the worlds best musicians. Great production and a winner all the way around. The man has lent his talent to virtually anybody & everybody in the music business........from Quincy Jones, Rufus/Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, Steve Winwood, Barbara Streisand, Elton John and the list goes on & on..........Now he gets a chance to stretch out a little & show you what he's got up his sleeve. The man can play!!!

FUNK with a capital F U N K!!! High energy with some of the best musicians on the planet.

I saw JR at Zildjian day in London many years ago. Hi depth of groove, touch, and taste made Weckl look like a novice. Weckl was great, but JR was .. a master.

The intensity on this CD is incredible, the arrangements are gorgeous, the production flawless, the drumming ridiculously tasteful.

If you dig groove BUY THIS!
