Track by Track Review
R&B (Instrumental)
"Nitecap Rock" is a raw R&B rocker with raspy sax and jammy guitar. What it lacks in writing, it makes up for in energy and spunk.
R&B (Instrumental)
Slow silky guitar romances the night in this sultry smoky bar number. Romantic, slithering cool, and very well phrased. Very nice guitar work, harmonics, and warmth. Excellent track!
R&B (Instrumental)
"Old Jose" is a bouncy number with fun percussion and plinky piano. While more or less a riff rocker, its charm and spunk overcome the limitations that usually implies.
R&B (Instrumental)
Soulful cool down blues, with lovely guitar, gentle drums and cymbals, and a mysterious melody line that's exotic and slightly south of the border. The narrative supports the Mexico theme. Very cool!
