Track 1. Best of Times has a nice bass line with soul overtones.
Track 2. Slow Drag – the title is also the mood of this song. Nice melody.
Track 3. Recipe for Love – comes with a “Fever” tempo, nice.
Track 4. Kingston Shuffle – has a mambo drift.
Track 5. At the Hideaway – has an Elmore James vibe with melodic vocals.
Track 6. Higher Ground – a bouncy tune with good keyboards.
Track 7. Benny the Booker – a song that adds a little rock/swamp rock ala the T-Birds.
Track 8. Fish Fry – (not Chuck Haddock) – swinging song with a Big Joe Turner taste.
Track 9. Lighthouse – nice and slow along an Otis Redding track sound.
Track 10. Connie Jones – the longest cut has a Leonard Cohen feel.
Track 11. Savor the Flavor – Caribbean notes with a reggae feel.
Track 12. It’s Hot – this one rocks out to the finish.
This collection has nice horns throughout and adequate vocals. On a scale of 1 to 10, Tom rates it a 7.5 and Dutch rates it 8 — we both enjoyed reviewing it.
