The loping bass, punctuating guitar, and drumstick slaps let you know right away that you have an Amazing Rhythm Aces release on your hands. This is the first good release of their material on disc (there was Ride Again, a best-of collection, that didn't quite satisfy) which contains some wonderful quality material. The Aces are purveyors of rock-inflected country music, or countrified rock, and this amalgam is flavored with a healthy dose of blues. The intelligent lyrics are backdropped by instrumentation that perfectly augments the sentiments of the lyrics. The lead voice on most songs is Russell Smith, whose voice has gotten even better and more reflective with the passing of years. The Aces have maintained the excellent lyric content of the songs, and when mixed with their simple but elegant arrangements, they produce simply great songs. Hard to find, but worth the effort. ~ Bob Gottlieb
Recorded at Flatwood Studio, Lebanon, Tennessee.
Amazing Rhythm Aces: Russell Smith (vocals, guitar); Kelvin Holley (guitar, background vocals); James Hooker (keyboards, background vocals); Billy Earheart (keyboards); Jeff "Stick" Davis (bass); Butch McDade (drums, background vocals).
