What a wonderful, soulful piece of reality!  Rich vocals.  Outstanding instrumentals - earthy technique and compilation.  This is truly an album that becomes a part of its audience from the very first note, and never lets go - even after the last one is played.  Remarkable and a must-have staple in my music collection.  This one will never collect dust!!

I'm not usually one to "gush", but I knew I was in for a treat from the first few bars of 'The Dance Goes On' when I felt my eyes close and my body respond to the flow of the music. But it doesn't stop after the first track. Almost every song wraps you up and carries you along; some slow and soulful, others full of energy and jive (nice variety). Although it's really hard to choose, my personal fav has to be 'On A Day Like Today'; wonderful tones. Every track demonstrates Volker's stunning guitar work showing an impressive depth and breadth of skill. The trumpet(?) on 'Spoonful'... wonderful emotion! Mellow sounds of 'Listen to the Rain' with some beautiful picking. Oh, and 'Constantine'... brings a tear to the eye (really).
I have never claimed to have an educated ear. I just know what I like when I hear it; and this is definitely it!
