I previously reviewed another set from Bill Curreri. I said of that one that it was sort of in the same Americana style as Tom Petty, but that the vocals seemed a bit strange to me. That's a pretty accurate description of this set, too. That said, this has a bit more of a hard rocking edge a lot of the time. The thing with those vocals is that they seem better suited to alternative rock than they do to this type of music. However, Curreri somehow manages to make it work. The closing two-fer on this is worth the price of admission by itself, but everything here is worth listening.

A trippy arrangement opens this cut. It has a real psychedelic edge in its echoey kind of modes. The vocals come in over the top of this mellow arrangement. This number brings some real variety to the set. The cut gets built up a bit as it carries forward, but that unusual arrangement persists as a guitar holds an almost prog texture. After a while it shifts out to more mainstream sounds and we're back into the kind of thing that the rest of the set has prepared us for. That guitar returns over the top as it continues, though, really soaring.
