Great CD - just like I have hoped it should be! Looking for the next CD!

A return to high school in the late sixties. I'd be standing in line to get tickets to this show.

I love this album. Painstakingly recorded to sound like a long lost artifact from 1970, this is what groove-oriented, organic rock & roll should sound like. Guitarist & multi-instrumentalist Tony Rice & vocalist Dru Brinkerhoff have produced a gem of a recording. They wear their influences proudly, but not in an obvious fashion. Brinkerhoff at times conjures Paul Rodgers, Jack Bruce, & Jimmy DeWar, but has his own bluesy style that is very effective. The playing is sparse & bluesy, allowing the songs to breathe, groove, & ROCK. If you like Free, Zep, Cream, & The Faces, you need to buy this CD. How refreshing it is to find a real rock & roll band with a new, independent release. How refreshing it is to hear a new release that respects the past, while rocketing into the future, without a trace of corporate bulls**t involved in it. Have I mentioned that I really love this album?

This record has not left my cd player in my truck. Stone axe has brought back my hope for hard rock, in these days of american idol garbage. This record take's you back to the awesome sound of the 70's and then some. Excellent record! I highly recommend picking this up.
