Oh that's going too far!

Joe is a sweet and sensitive soul.

Anyhow, for me, it depends on the track.

The thing about Jimmy's role is much of it goes unsung. I mean, for most people,

it is not until you see all the stuff he is doing with draw bars and volume swells and left hand/foot stuff that an appreciation for his artistic stylings is developed.

Don't get me wrong, Jimmy can burn, but he doesn't do that for its own sake. It is about the song first.

If you are an organist, you will get this immediately.

Now, if you are guitarist, you will be drawn to Joe's developing voice.

Guitarist can play their whole life and never find a unique voice. Joe in finding his, and in spades!

Joe has a touch and melodic sensibility that is wonderful. As a guitarist,

I am prone to say he was my favorite. But again, it depends on the track.

Drummers you will really like the sax player... just kiddin' Randy. I love

you brother! Drummers are drawn to Randy. He is a legend around these parts. By the way, John Large called and was trying to rip your stuff off. That is, he is practicing to the CD like a mad man. "Randy is playing some really cool shit on this CD". John, is by the way, another very well respected musician, so this is qualified praise. imo

Frankly, they are a band first. Not merely a bunch of good musicians. When Joe sounds great it is because Randy and Jim are kickin' butt. And vice versa and so on...The interplay, personal expression, and support is what makes these tunes.

These are songs first. Not merely opportunities for wanking.

None of these guys even begin to think they are better than the other. Nor do any of them think they are the best out there. They are well grounded. Moreover, it is not their individual strengths, rather it is their collective creativity that separates them from the more established acts. This is the feedback we are getting from people around the country. These have always been my thoughts about the fellas.

Beautiful players who get the band concept! It's about time!!!

Way to ride the fence, Greg.

Everyone knows I'm the baddest...

... the baddest what... well, that's still up in the air.

;)

O.K. it's Joe! :P

Actually, I am the one who suggested a touch more reverb on the harmonica...so uh...I'm the baddest. Where's my production credit, damn it.
