Fantastic work!
This is one heck of a great album, not sure what that other reviewer's problem is. I had this on vinyl years back and got the CD a few years ago, so I've had a lot of listening time over the years with this album.

An Overall Disappointing Effort, June 1, 2007

I had this on vinyl years back and got the CD a few years ago, so I've had a lot of listening time over the years with this album. Mark is a very versatile musician and every track on this release is excellent! Great composition, great playing, great production, there's just a lot of great music here that is fun and enjoyable to listen to. HIGHLY recommended! And PS, guitar freaks, Mark gets some great tones out of a vintage 1956 Strat (courtesy of George Gruhn)on this album.
