The new CD has a varied and intriguing sound, with tastes of Americana, alternative rock, arena rock and even, in the title track, a definite Far Eastern influence. There are not a lot of obvious jazz elements, except that the music is perpetually surprising in where it goes. More to the point, it is compelling rock ’n’ roll, with a heady mix of new flavors that spice up, without overpowering, the basic rock format.
