i didn't quite know what to expect whan i saw this new title.when you see an old band with something new you wish they hadn't tried to relive their past glory,BUT what a surprise. this new recording sounds like it could have been done in 1969.with 10 new songs, 9 written by CARL GIAMMARESE,and the other by MARTY GREBB,no longer with the new band,this is a really enjoyable venture. along with CARL is original member NICK FORTUNA and the other three members have been with them for over 20 years.
plus a five piece horn section makes this sound like the classic BUCKINGHAMS of yesteryear. give this new album a listen and close your eyes and go back to a happier time with this NEW BUCKINGHAMS offering. you won't be let down.you'll be back in love again with the BUCKINGHAMS.

I agree with everyone that this album sounds great. My only complaint are the remakes of the old songs tacked on the end. You Misunderstand Me was a B side of the original band and would have been enough of a nod to their past. Five more songs instead of 5 remakes would have been much better, even tho these versions of the old songs are fine, (Susan is kinda short) more new songs would have been more appreciated. We get 8 new songs, 1 instrumental prelude, 6 remakes. Its only have an album in my book. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Buckinghams and have all their records and cds, I even got out Terra Firma and played it for the second time, and this is much more reminiscent of the old band's style, and this band has been together 4 or 5 times longer than the original band were. It still got 5 stars even tho 4.5 would have been more like it.

I really enjoy this new cd.The band is sounding like the old Buckinghams.A wonderfully new & old sound with great songs & remakes.The band put out some wonderful albums in the late 60's with a sound that predated Chicago.Too bad Chicago can't sound this good 40 years on.Pick this up, play it load & enjoy an under rated band that puts on a great live show today.Their live cd is good also but could have a few less covers & more Buckinghams songs.Hey baby they're playing our song.
