The reviews have been phenomenal.
Here's a sample:
"...THIS CD KNOCKS ME OUT! Such diversity and range in the selection of tunes. The man can sing anything. And the band has never sounded better. It grows on me. I have to listen to it each day, or my day isn't complete! Awesome, awesome piece of work. Kudos for one of the best CDs I've heard in a long time."
