This is Craig Dreyer's second CD featuring a more polished ensemble feel.
Featuring eight new original songs that are funky, bluesy and in the soul groove, Craig has added percussion to the group as well as Hammond organ on top of Wurlitzer electric piano.
Still one gets the saxophone work from one who has performed with the likes of Greg Allman, Warren Haynes, Joan Osborne, David Johansen, Jimmy Vivino, Little Milton, Jerry Dugger and Ron Sunshine and Full Swing among others.
With a voice resonant of the smoky bars and clubs where Craig performs over 250 times a year (in 1999 304 times to be precise), vocally he has been compared to Tom Waits and Dr. John.
His sax playing crosses between the realms of King Curtis and Jr.Walker to Maceo Parker and Grover Washington Jr.
Featured as Guests on the CD are - Ron Sunshine, Jerry Dugger, and Jono Manson.
