Wade Olson; drums and Marshall St. Clair on bass.

The opener, 'Me And My Baby', is a low roller, David's low, hoarse rasping vocals
build, as his guitar fizzes into roaring life. The pulsating, striding 'Rock Me', is a
re-working of B.B. King's 1964 'Rock Me Baby',.

'Holy Sinners & Sinful Saints' is an enjoyable fusion of a stark resonator guitar and
lively wah-wah guitar. 'Let Me Take You Home', is underpinned by pounding drum
work, while enticing melodic, racing guitars urge you on.

The instrumental 'Bleeding Heart', is a pleasantly melodic, wafting sea of reverb
filled guitar, while; 'It's Alright', is a very pleasant Hendrix based slow blues. 'Love
Is', is firmly, in Led Zeppelin territory.

Three, fine slow burners, are 'Let's Get Together', 'Still In Love With You' and
'Hoochie Man', which is based upon Muddy Waters' 1954 original.

Alluring, mystical eastern influences delightfully waft in and around, the slow
burning 'Armenia'.

The confidently strutting 'Insanity', delivers some nice guitar touches. While 'Money
And Trouble', is an honest, no nonsense, enticing, walking blues.

Recommended!

Brad "Guitar" Wilson—The Californian—Cali
Bee Music

Joining Brad, guitar and lead vocals, are Toto
Poznantek and Tony Braunagel on drums, Chris
Rhyne, Luca Catalfamo, and Frankie Virens on
Keyboards, with Hal Cragin, Brian Beal and Fabrizo
Erba on bass. Marieke de Vaan (Marie K) provides
harmonica.

The inviting and satisfyingly, mournfully sounding
guitar and piano led rolling opener, is Tampa Red's
1940 and Elmore James's 1957, 'It Hurts Me Too'.
'Lightning In A Bottle', continues the mood, Brad's
warm, low key, urging guitar sound, is very easy on the ears.

The Rolling Stones 'Dead Flowers', 'Say You Wanna Dance', and organ led 'Monterey',
have a definite guitar rocking Stones feel, with a lively, goodtime, raucous rollicking
piano sneaking in. The organ led, prowling 'Heartbreaker', and Mott The Hoople's
1972 Mick Ralphs composed 'Ready For Love' has definite pleasant echoes of the
band, Free.

The enticing, guitar led 'Back Roads' is a gentle, comfortable rocking blues. Eddie
Cochran's 'Summertime Blues', possesses a genuine, sun kissed summery
atmosphere.

'Goin Home', is a gentle, country guitar blues concerning the urge to return home,
to family and loved ones.
