I hear a bit of Mose Allison, Keb Mo, Santana, Gregg Allman, Dr. John influences. At 60 years young, I have listened to a lot of music. Always enjoy something fresh and new. Best part was I could hear the vocals without the band overplaying the lyrics. How do I join the “Chuck Glass” fan club? or better yet the band? Keep up the effort!Anson
This is the second Chuck Glass CD I’ve listened to (From Beyond the Mighty Get Go – 2004). This is by far the better of the two. If I still had a regular show on WTJU, I’d play any of 7 songs. As it is, I will play at least one the next time I sub. Songs 2 (Keep On Lovin You), 4 (Last Straw (love the drums!)) 6 (See What Love Can Do) & 10 (Livin’ Right) will make it to my iPod. I probably listen to 25 new CDs a week, so with that number of songs, it is hard for me to consider a song exceptional enough to put on a “CD Cuts” disk that I will listen to on a regular basis. Happy to say that “Livin’ Right” has made it. I also like the horns on 1 & 6 (they make the song).Tim
Man, I’m speechless. So many good tunes I don’t know where to start. I’ve listened through completely now about 4 times and each time I get more impressed. Your vocal is top-notch as always and the backing vocals are fantastic. There are times when I feel I’m in a black gospel church and that’s a very good thing. The guitar work and the engineering are very good too. There’s a lot going on in many of the tunes and everything is in its place and the blend on the backing vocals is just so smooth. Hard to pick a favorite, but “Trouble Don’t Last” is a beautiful piece. “Everybody’s Crazy” pretty wells sums up my feelings about the world today. And the slide guitar in “Justified” sends chills down my back – what a tone!! Also love the sound of the Hammond in “Famous”.
It’s a fine piece of work and you should very proud. Keep up the great work!Tony
Just got to listen to your CD, upon which I had the pleasure of playing, and I am proud to be a small part of that! Sounds great and I hope you’re as pleased as I am. Way cool, dude!Vinny
I listened last night, and again today… the album is great! I love my two tracks…love the “snare treatment” on #11…and Chuck, your vocal chords might have come out of your throat about 3 1/2 minutes in. Friggin’ Great track! as is #10. The track and lyrics on #9 are really fun…it’s All Good. Thank you both for what you’ve done, and thanks for letting me be a part of it!Rick
Damn Chuck, you’ve out-done yourself. From top to bottom, this record has it all. I just want you to know that with every CD you put out, you keep growing. The overall production of this CD rivals any of the big-boys, and surpasses most of them IMO. From the arrangements to the quality of the recording to the smartness of the lyrics, you’ve really put together one great listening experience.
I love the background vocals. Very “black gospel” sounding. And the horn parts are top-notch. Ray would approve. You made the right call in your selection of the lead instruments. Your choice of guitar players and their tone adds just the right flavor to the mix. And of course, your own piano style really grabbed my attention right away. Just when I thought I was going to hear one chord progression, you pulled a “Chuck Glass” and threw in some of those really cool Jazz chords you’re so famous for. Those little tasty nuggets are the spice that makes your music uniquely different from the rest.
I’ll tell you right now that these songs jumped off the page at me the first time through… Justified, Everybody’s Crazy, Trouble Don’t Last, Famous, So Cold (but then I’m a Ray Charles kinda guy)
Glad I got to be one of the first to experience this music. Thanks for letting me into your world.Philip
The songs are great, your voice is in top form, your bass playing cooks and your B3 chops are stellar. You guys really did a heck of a job. I really think you pulled some of the best performances I’ve ever heard out of Jimmy Hall and Todd Sharp. All the guitar players sound great really, and Rodovsky really nails it. Just a really great job all the way around. A couple of those songs sound like classics immediately, almost anthemic.
Congratulations, and good luck with it. Oh, and it’s worth the price of admission for that picture of you on the back cover alone. Now THAT is an outfit.
Thanks so much for sharing it with me. I wish you all the best.Steve Conn
Yo, Chuck: What a great album. I like Karma and Dubya the best, but there is not a weak track on the album. Your Hammond B3 guy was having a lot of fun on this record! Dubya just about sums up my feelings at the moment.
Thanks! Cheers,Frank C.
Got Calling Mama Zuma in the mail a few days ago. Killer stuff. Kinda Delbert Mclinton meets Jimmy Smith. Some serious rockin R and B. The real B-3 is in serious danger of becoming a lost art. Thanks for helping to keep it alive. …Was great to here Chris L. again. Really like what you guys did on Pool Party. Every tune has some fine guitar playing. So far, “Puttin the Gloves Back On, The Bottle, and Karma Comes Callin” are on top of my list…. ” we built a culture of corruption, fortified by dirty deeds”…..That verse is scary real!…. Great production. You guys got the old school sound down, but it’s super clean.. Sounds great on everything I’ve played it on. Congrats to Brother Jim, always had a great set of ears. And it’s always good to hear him pick up a guitar…CMZ stands up to anything I’ve heard on the radio lately. The writing, the players, and the production, all 1st rate. Hope you can get it out there for more people to hear. Good luck and keep the tunes coming. And keep plucking that bass!. Sounds like a pot of pea soup ready to boil over!! Damn!!…………Rocky Henning
Clever lyrics, great grooves, and just an all round good time. The arrangements and the recording are top notch, with nice horns and backing vocals to support Chuck’s great blues voice.Tony Sanders
Great uplifting lyrics providing a good feeling . Very good musicianship as well. Please give it a listen and support Chuck.Scott Stemen
If you believe as I do that the blues is truth, as the great Willie Dixon once said, then this is some of the deepest blues you’ll ever hear. This remains true regardless of how you choose to define the music – blues, r&b, rock, pop, etc. Seriously, this stuff really speaks to the human condition and seeks to improve one’s character through the musical journey – sounds like the blues to me. Don’t get me wrong, Chuck ain’t preaching, just laying it on the line with some great music. Even at its lightest moments, e.g., Big ol’ Baby, Evil Twin, there’s a lot being said. If you like great music with really something to say, I don’t think you could do better. Most highly recommended. And this is coming from a guitar driven, heavy blues/rock enthusiast!D.H.
