Music Review: Rob Stone - Back Around Here - Page 2

The instrumental "Dragon Killers" stands out because Stone struts his stuff, reminding us why he's been asked to perform on stage and record with so many great names.  Lay, Rynn, and Maxwell again do the critical work that gives the song its energy.

Back Around Here is a throwback album made by younger musicians who have learned at the feet of the surviving pioneers and from the records made by those no longer with us.  That these men from different backgrounds and eras not only found each other but choose to play together is proof that the language of music and the power of generosity is as potent as ever.  Don't take my word for it.  Hear it for yourself.

    This one is definitely worth your money. The three of them are great together and then you had in David Maxwell and Sam Lay and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith and magic happens. I want to hear these guys all play live together.

    Yes! Must see them all on stage together. ROAD TRIP!

    Easy enough decision on that one, huh?
