 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.

Opening with Bird In A Cage , a fluid blues rocker with shades of Blue Oyster Cult, it's a great opener. Cleanly executed guitar riffs by Manous, joined by Sean O'Rourke on drums, Evan Breedlove on bass and Joe Morgan on keys beef up the track. Driving blues rocker, For A Few Dollars More , has a metal feel but never crossing over from a blues bass. Fluid guitar riffs and a driving bass line are the trick here. Cool! Silence Of My Day is a quiet track with modern dynamics and a slick hook. Morgan on B3 fuels Manous' guitar fire leading to some scorching riffs. Pop rocker, Living , has strong bones and is a sure fire radio track. Lucky Street is an interesting instrumental composition with bends and volume swells nicely articulating a nice melody. Very nice! Straight up blues guitar ballad, Not Worth Another Song , is definitely the crowd pleaser on the release with fat, hot ...
