This collaboration is an interesting disc. It tends towards mellower, acoustic driven music. It’s not all what I would consider progressive rock, but with the type of music Steve Morse does in his solo work and with The Dregs, I’m putting it into that category. Besides, a good chunk of this does fit under that category, anyway. Wherever you put this, though, it’s a great disc. It would be easy for music like this to become monolithic and a bit boring in the hands of less talented individuals. Morse and Spencer, though, pull it off in fine fashion. Each song has its own identity and the disc never lags. There are highlights, but really no weak points.
