Tony has been tamed

"Wild T's new CD TRUE BLISS did not bliss me out at all. I found his previous 2 CDs (Love Crazy and Givin Blood) to be of true guitar greatness. I found that the primary reason is for the lightweight keyboards. Tony should have stuck to being a power trio. I sometimes wonder that after such a long gap from his last CD, maybe Tony wanted to appeal to more of a mainstream market and sell more CDs? Sorry Tony, this aint the one. I would have released the CD under the name TONY SPRINGER and NOT WILD T. So many songs are just lightweight RnB. God! Luther VanDross and George Benson spring to mind at times. Wild T has also re-released the song Cant getcha out of my mind featuring Jeff Healy. What this CD needed is more guitar frenzy. If he was to do a re-release of a song, I would have suggested Freedom Train, Love Crazy, I'm a River, Mean Mean Mama etc.

C'mon Wild T - MORE ROCK needed"
