 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.

Deep blues track, Feet Back On The Ground features Albert King like stinging riffs and super soulful vocals by Harmon.

With Gerry Gladston on lead vocal and piano, Don Leich on vocal and guitar, Larry Ghiorsi on bass and Chris Reardon on vocal and drums this group is really humming. With a hot guitar solo by Leich and a hot piano solo by Gladston, this track is a great opener.  Boogie track, Cupcake! has a super swagger and call and response between Gladston and the band on backing vocals and Leich's guitar work is tasty and stinging. Very nice. Too Tired is a cool driving shuffle with a great loping bass line by Ghiorsi and strong vocals. I really like Leich's guitar lead on this track with a lot of movement and crisp riffs and again, Gladston is hot on the keys with excellent piano soloing. Very nice.
