"SOULSVILLE", one of the title tracks, kicks off this absolutely wonderful CD with a real hot blend of Gospel, Blues and Bluegrass. It's a mover and a shaker that had me burning up the keypad as I tried to, but just couldn't keep pace. The song is all about Soulsville -Memphis, TN - of course. Mitch, Richard and Danny tear it up on guitar, piano and harp respectively.
"FENCE ME IN", "GLORY HALLELUJAH, and "STANDING ON THE ROCK OF MY LORD" all have all of the defining Gospel ingredients. They are very moving, uplifting and spiritual. Danny's soul can truly be felt through his vocals on all of these songs.
"OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOUD" was unquestionably one of my favorite tracks. Most likely because of the great piano playing by Michael and the excellent harp by Danny. This was Gospel Blues done at it's best.
"YOU WON'T SHOW" contains so much soul it gave me flashbacks of MOTOWN. I guess this is some of what Brownie McGhee was referring to when he once told Danny Brooks that "fo' a white boy you sho' nuff got a tan on the inside".
"WALK THAT WALK" contains a little bit of just about every music genre imaginable. Dennis on "Big Bertha", the stand up bass, and Colin on the mandolin are absolutely on fire on this one. Amidst all it's spirituality, this is a real fun song" ~ Peter  Lauro.
