 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.

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 St. Pete Blues Book shows his super story telling skills and well as his strong influence by Rev. Gary Davis. Excellent opener. Rag, Black Dog Blues , is a strong track with a faster tempo, originally recorded by Bayless Rose in the 20's. Sounds fresh as the day it was written. New Age Woman Blues is a funny little track with a good story and quick riffs. Rev. Gary Davis' Candyman is next and Book not only does a real nice job on it but also elaborates on his history with Davis. Another great track is Can't Do That No More . Book tells of all of the stuff you have to do without as you get older.The theme has been covered many times but Book does a particularly entertaining run at it. Blind Boy Fuller's Rag Mama is a perfect track for this set with Books vocal and picking style. Excellent. Travis-...
