 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live , from Zac Harmon & The Drive and it's super! Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar. Terrific opener. Blue Pill Thrill has super movement and soulful vocals by Harmon.

Solid opener. A more traditional blues take on the Stones' Satisfaction is pretty cool. With grittier guitar work by Willie and complimentary harmonica work by Montgomery takes this track from the rocky streets of England into the streets of Chicago. Very cool. Easy shuffle, Detroit Blues , has a solid groove and plenty of space for soulful riffs by Montgomery Willie. Very nice. High energy, Montgomery Boogie , is a smoking rock fused instrumental featuring Montgomery leading the way and hot accents by Willie on guitar.
