Ignore previous reviewer, this cd is excellent. Filled with Anthony's understated but incredibly accomplished playing and soulful organ/drum backing; it is enjoyable to listen intently or have on in the background. Solid stuff.

I very much enjoyed this album. The tempo and arrangement leaves nothing to be desired. This SACD is of very high recording quality with the bite of guitar and notes/ambiance of organ coming through beautifully. Glad to hear Jeff Hamilton in some of the tracks as well. This is my second title by Anthony Wilson and will most likely purchase additional albums in the future.

I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to hear Anthony Wilson's new CD. OK, months. He always puts out something that swings and has a groove on it. And with Jeff Hamilton in the mix on drums on some cuts and one of the hippest organ players on the scene, Larry Goldings, it has to be killer, right? Nope. This CD would put Michael Jackson to sleep. There are a couple of cuts that have some intensity but with these cats, I guess I was looking for some energy, too. I just could not get into the mood that is created here. His last two organ trio dates under his name are much more musically satisfying for my taste. Check them out for yourself.

I've got all of Anthony Wilson's cd's. This is probaly his weakest. I give the sound quality 4 stars, and several of the songs are pretty good, but he needs to put better quality songs on his next cd, maybe add a piano player.
