This album has something for everyone, especially if you're a PMB fan. Don't buy this album expecting the same sound as on "Shine", because that's not what you'll get. However, it is a great CD that you'll be listening to over and over.
PS. You gotta hear this band live if you haven't already.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Pat McGee on rootsrocklive.com about this very CD while it was being recorded. He feared the harder edge would alienate some longtime fans.
After hearing the CD, I can understand his fears. A wistful sax and graceful acoustic playing have given way to an energetic, electric sound. This CD moves McGee and company in the direction of Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Live and scores of other modern rock bands. The tinge of country in some of his earlier work is all but gone. However, McGee's signature melodic sensibility and well crafted lyrics are in top form.
Is every song my new favorite? No, but a few are. The opening notes of "You and I" are haunting and it only gets better from there. "Don't give up" is a great rocker. It's a great song to get you going a little faster on the treadmill...just the kind of song I need! It has the kind of uplifting lyrics we all need right now.
"Shady" hasn't quite rocked my boat. "Save Me" lacks a great ballad like "I know" or "Haven't seen you in a while." If you like a softer edge, purchase "Shine" either with this CD or before it. If you like anything from Dave Matthews to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, you'll find something you'll like on that disc.
Still, if you like a straight ahead modern, melodic rock, you'll love this disc. There is more clang and less twang, but fans of Pat McGee, new and old, have nothing to complain about!
