"but this is a solid CD, well worth regular play. I'd like to vote 4.5, but on a 5-star scale, 5 is reserved for all-time classics.



Greg is a sterling guitarist and tasty vocalist who has apparently backed up lots of folks for many years, but, fed up with LA, came home to Arkansas to make a Southern classic. And did it!



I'll not review every cut, though most are well packaged and quite solid, but two are worthy of the highest accolades. Push Me Down is an original tune, perfectly constructed from a simple riff that builds and swirls and knocks you down, and Workin' On A Building, an old-time Gospel tune gets a performance here that will have you cranking the speakers up all the way.



So, an eclectic mix of Souther rock, country, Gospel, electic blues and straight-out boogie makes a wonderful CD, something you can happily purchase and support independent, alternative, hard-working musicians. Go get it!"

Potent and Original Offerings

"The Greg Spradlin Outfit ought not to flying under the musical radar for folks who are not averse to cranking it up. Trying to pigeonhole the music on ". . . and Twiced as Gone" tends to be a slippery enterprise, but it's clearly a blend of blues, gospel, rock, country and other subtle and not-so-subtle Southern flavors. And all that is a good thing.



Greg Spradlin (guitar and vocals), Doug Simpson (drums and vocals), and Scott Finney (bass and vocals) throw themselves into the music and are equally at home whether reflecting on trials and tribulations in songs such as Feels Like Dust or flat-out rocking on a barn burner such as Things Will Change.



I hope this will not be the only offering from the Greg Spradlin Outfit because this music is just too potent and original to be consigned to the cut-out bin.

Another Great CD from a Great Musician

"This is a great CD (especially considering most of the songs were recorded "in-house"). Great up beat, fun music and also great music to pop in your car CD player and just drive, man. This CD may not be quite as good (close though) as the Skeeterhawks "the First One I Caught", but I'm just glad to see more music from Greg Spradlin. Pick this one up today.
