 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.

Opening with title track, Bluesman From Jupiter , Dennis Spencer on lead vocal and guitar sets the pace with Tracy Hart on backing vocals, Mikal Majeed on keys, and Terence Johnson on drums. This driving rocker uses a rock and roll rhythm and a bluesy style. Cool opener. Soulful, Cold Corner , features Tracy Hart on lead vocal, with Bobby Warren and Tony Hithe on backing vocals and featuring real nice guitar phrasing by Spencer. Ballad, Why Can't We features Spencer and Hart sharing the mic and smooth guitar lead by Spencer. This is a tight track and a likely radio player.
