Just get it! Tony and band really WROCK.
The brilliant playing by Tony, and his stellar band made up of some rock legends in their own right, is an auditory party. Jerry Marotta's drums are the perfect counterpoint to Tony's tunes, and Larry Fast and Pete Levin add the synth and other keys to fill out the elements that Tony and Jesse Gress lay down. These great players bring it on this CD in spades. Tony sings on all but one of these, and it's great to hear this constant backup vocalist shine on his own.
An Interesting, Ambitious Album From Tony Levin
Tony Levin, for the first time in his career, sings lead vocals with his very own band. Usually a supportive session artist, Tony Levin has finally crossed the barrier in to very personal solo territory, and- himself stating that he is not the most powerful vocalists- has let down his walls and sang words that mean a lot to him. With his soft vocals, and pulsating funk finger and liquid fretless bass lines, Tony Levin is beyond categorization, although his voice and fretless lines definitely remind me of Sting at times. The songs themselves are very strong, and although not all are tremendous, the album itself is a very solid whole, in my opinion.
Resonator Rocks!
I will attempt to "Break It Down". Buy this CD! This is the most interesting piece of work yet from Tony and the former guys from Peter Gabriel's original band (with the exception of Jesse Gress, Todd Rundgren's guitarist). Tony Sings! What a surprise! I was expecting another mostly instrumental CD. He does a pretty decent job too as his voice seems to fit the material very well. All the tracks are great and Tony's bass playing only keeps getting better. He is the best - period.
