After previous album "Little Heroes", which used a wide variety of instruments and outside musicians, this was a return to the roots for Kokomo, stripping down to just the four-piece with three different drummers on various tracks.
A collection of new songs from Derek Jacombs, this was the first album since Sonia Bullot officially joined the band, though she had been playing live with Kokomo for several years, and the first album since Nigel Masters switched to upright bass, adding a whole new feel to songs like "Any Road Up".

"...this is a great CD"
author: Mike Moroney / NZ Musician
From the Tauranga band formerly known as Kokomo Blues comes another album out of that well-respected recording house, Boatshed Studio. The supporting literature tells us the tracks were recorded essentially live (and no computers used!) and the whole thing comes together instrumentally like something that Keb Mo or Ben Harper might have been proud of. The songs too have some meat in them, all originals by Derek Jacombs... Track by track (and there are 13 of them), this is a great CD, stylistically immediately recognisable as Kokomo - Grant Bullot's harmonica playing is inspired. The album moves effortlessly through country blues, ballads and contemporary folk feels, an eclectic mix of acoustic and electric. Well worth a listen.
