From the Tower of Power style funk overdrive of the opening track through to the anthemic rock instrumental closing number, veteran bassist Doug Ross serves up top quality music over the full range of his broad stylistic palette on this debut solo album. All of the 23 musicians appearing on this album have impeccable credentials in their own right, and Doug employs them in effective combinations to achieve a polished blend of intellectual pop music comparable to Sting and Steely Dan.
