 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. Lacy on keys works the rhythm with Robinson and Iglehart and Livingston and and Harmon play stinging riffs on guitar really giving this track some kick. Deep blues track, Feet Back On The Ground features Albert King like stinging riffs and super soulful vocals by Harmon. Keeping the music floor low allows Harmon plenty of space to go dynamically from soft to wow quickly adding real emotion to the track. Excellent!

Opening with Marvin Gaye 's This Love Starved Heart , the release is hopping from the start. The Spinners ', What More Could A Boy Ask For , is slick and smooth with horn and vocal backing. Frank Wilson 's Do I Love You is a strong driver with full orchestration. Wilson is on top of his game on this track. The Originals ' Suspicion has such a strong Motown trademark sound with the drums in front with the vocals and underlying strings and backing vocals. Very nice. The Supremes do a straight up version of Stormy . This is a really cool track with classic styling. Stevie Wonder , one of the best song smiths of our time, is up next with Just Enough To Ease The Pain . This track is closely related to Light My Fire melodically with a definite Wonder twist. The Four Tops ' Clip My Wings moves along at a fast moving cl...
