OK so here it comes... I'm sure Anthony has been losing sleep knowing my official review was in the works. So with no more delay here we go!!
1.Turn It Up- Well hell yah!! Like Anthony says "turn it up to eleven and if you don't like it there's the door"!!
2.Back Door Scratchin'- Soooooo Goooood- Like a lot of this CD- Great lyrics with catchy riffs. That being said the guitar solos throughout the Cd are some of AG's best work!!
3.Whiskey Train- Nice and bluesy- Just how I like it!!!
4.Blueschild- It is nice to see Tallan on the co-write for this song!! A great young talent!! Again starting off with that great guitar!! I just love the guitar work and fade at the end of this song!!
5.Nowhere is Home- Before first listen I thought this was going to be a mellow song based on the subject matter-WRONG AGAIN!! Anthony should be very proud of this song. Great song and again love the guitar!!
6.Losing Game- " You said I was your king to love and respect now I come to find you got four kings in your deck"!! Anthony has been working on this song for years and thankfully we received it this year!! One of my favorites on the CD. Oh did I mention the great guitar solo!! AGAIN!!
7.The Blues Ain't the Blues no More- Again and again. The lyrics are very catchy but as to what is being said I could not agree more!! "Traditional" blues artist are pretty much gone but it doesn't mean that the blues are dead. There are so many different styles of blues from Robert Cray to Keb' Mo to Anthony that the blues are indeed live and well!!
8.Junk in the Trunk- Nice little song. Nothing that really blows me away here.
9. Love Crazy- This was the song I was anticipating the most with Anthony working again with the great Jim Peterik!! Ok so this song is not my thing. Great lyrics and I like the song until... well the chorus.... so just a little to poppy for me. Reading this you may think I don't like the song. I actually "like" it (my wife loves it) just one of my least faves on the CD. It will probably become a huge hit!!
10. Red Handed Blues- Hell Yah three times over!!! LOVE IT!! Caught red handed not like we planned it lord what we gonna do- were so busted she's disgusted heaven help us through!!!! Well this song may have worked to my favorite on the CD!!! Great lyrics-not to mention the girls backing Anthony-not just on this song but the entire CD. They sound perfect with Anthony!! This songs chorus reminds me a lot of Stealing from the Devil-catch this video out on you tube- www.youtube.com/watch?v=na2FfmnyZCo&list=PLhR9wvVgSzkBH4egJ5olQCaJF2O-g6oQE&index=9
11.Delta Rega/12. Listen to the Universe- Never a big fan of an intro being listed as a song but not a big deal as everyone does it. I could copy my review of Whiskey Train and just insert it right here. This song is much darker though with some of the best guitar work on the entire CD!! I know this song must be close to Anthony because when you open up the CD liner it's right there like it was meant to stick out!! Also at the end of the song we finally get to here what the universe sounds like!! Thanks AG!!
Well that's it!!! Overall this might be Anthony's best work of his career!! Hey it only took twenty years!!(lol) I guess it depends on what you like. I have always leaned more to the rock side of thing so it's no surprise I feel this way!! I also feel the happiness and joy loud and clear from Anthony on this CD. The weight has been lifted-here I am like me or not-upsetting blues purist since 1998!!
