 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.

With Bob Orsi on lead vocal and rhythm guitar, and cool backing vocals by Tanairy Barton, solid lead guitar work by Larry Willey, Tony Delisio on bass, River City Slim on drums, Steve Donovan, John Smayda on sax and Neil Tint on horns, this is a cool opener. On hi stepper, A Little Bit of That , Willey, Smayda and Tint set the ground work, over a great bass line by Delisio and organ by Donovan. Orsi's lead vocal and supple solos by Smayda, Tint and Donovan give this track the octane to be the top radio track on the release. Very nice.
