Along those lines, I was proud of the job "these" guys did in terms or recreations where necessary, and creations in general for that matter, especially considering the focus of this album--
Nice to hear my old buddy Nick diggin' in on everything---I also think the drummer does the best Jon Poulos imitation possible, outside of his own obvious talents--But let it not be overlooked-- that IS a talent in itself, trust me on that one.
I think my favorite recreation is "You Misunderstand Me"---not 'cuz it's my tune--It just has it's own trueness somehow---it has the band's "today" conviction, and also accurate harkenings of the past stuff, and the "old guys", of which I am one--Carl made it his own thing vocal wise too.
A salute to all the keyboard parts here as well---and to all the players-- and so, I say, play on on Nick, Carl, Tom, Bruce and Bob!!--May many ears relish your efforts!!
Kind Regards,
