"Feeling hungry for some new music I wandered around Amazon.com until I found Jimmy LaFave - my new red dirt music god. He had me hooked from the very first song on this CD, a tune called "Revival". Jimmy's voice can caress your soul, and then turn around and shake the shoes off your feet with tunes like "Music from the Motor Court". Two months ago I had never heard of Jimmy, now I own every CD he has ever made. (Gurf Morlix plays on this CD, always a good sign!)"

He's At It Again

"Jimmy LaFave is certainly one of my faves....and this CD continues to reinforce that concept. His vocals have always evoked a hankering for the road.



The tunes on this CD really stand out. Great lyrics, interesting melodies, solid ideas. Jimmy knows his way around a Texas road house and he proves that on each CD. This one included.



Tender....LaFave does tender very well...and he also knows how to rock the house with some raucous vocals and serious guitar riffs.



I can't say that this is his best effort because I have so many LaFave favorites...but I find myself listening to this one over and over again. Almost as much as I listen to Austin Sky Line."

Good, not exceptional

"I own every CD that this artist has put out. He is definitely one of my favorite artists. I cannot say the same for this CD. It is not a bad CD, it is just not exceptional. Usually on a LaFave CD there are several tracks that I just cannot get out of my mind, and will play over and over. That is not the case here.



If you have not heard LaFave before, buy one of his earlier CDs before you buy this one. This is an enjoyable listen, but it will not be the first LaFave CD I pull out when I'm in the mood for some Oklahoma soul.
