****Here is what the critics have said…

 

Eleanor Rigby meets Aerosmith
"Wow. These guys are very big on pop music history. This is one hell of a tight band! I just love that Eleanor Rigby, Beatles cello confection inserted into the middle of the driving hard rock verse of Good Together Brings. Great opening with the pedal point guitar note. The guitarist knows not to overplay his hand on this CD, which happens with a lot of hard rock bands. He knows when to keep quiet and when to turn it on (he really lets go on the solos) The lead vocalist sounds like his voice is doubled on most tracks, which isn't a bad thing at all. His voice is up there with some of the lead vocalists for such bands as Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Kiss. Everything is clicking here. The songs are very catchy. It's a "5" all the way!"
