From the product description: "Recorded the Way April Wine Used to Record: Pure Analog! Two Inch Tape, 24-track Recording, with Half-inch 2-track Master Tape. No Digital Equipment During the Entire Process, and the Result Speaks for Itself."

Ok, that may all be true and it may lead you to believe that this is a throwback to vintage April Wine---trust me it isn't. If you are looking for Harder...Faster era (or earlier), then look elsewhere. The album isn't bad, although it is a bit laid back for my taste, but it is nothing close to their vintage sound nor do the songs match up to the vintage era. I didn't hate it, but I did find it boring and probably wouldn't play it on any sort of regular basis. I've certainly heard this band do much better.

I was nervous about picking up this CD by the few samples I heard and everybody saying it's a blues CD. But I picked it up and as a long time April Wine fan I find this CD a very enjoyable listen. It's not the hard rockin' music they became famous for...but some nice blusey rock with a lot of bluesy soloing from Brian & Myles. The songs have a nice flow to them and I'm gad I picked up the CD. My only disapointment is the short running time at a little under 25 minutes they could have added a couple more songs in the same vein very easily...even threw in a cover to make the album at least a 30 min CD. Still if your a fan of the band chances are you'll want to own this disc...it is very good for what it is.
