 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.

Ed Deegan and Bradley Burgess craft distinct guitar sounds and Matt Radford holds down the bass role with drummed Bruce Brand. Fool Fool Fool (Look In The Mirror) has a great melodic feel and classic 60's British pop presence. Frozen In Time has a light jazzy pop feel. I really like the addition of George Simmonds trombone work on this track. As You Go Down has that simple sound that the Brits did so well in the 60's and early 70's. A solid rocker with simple but stately guitar riffs, this is a great track. Stopped My Heart , has a cool contrast between Holly's sweet voice and the raw guitar work on the track. Very smart! Easy going Empty Space has a solid melody and particul...
