REVIEWS:
By Yours Truly
Like the Atlanta Rhythm Section, who started life as a group of studio musicans that decided to become a band, Barefoot Jerry's history follows the same path. Unlike A.R.S. was Barefoot Jerry's music. Where A.R.S. was more of a Southern Rock n Roll band with Boogie roots, Barefoot Jerry was more a country band with Boogie roots, plus a good sense of humor.
This album, depending on how you count, is either their 3rd or 4th but whatever one it is it is certainly worth owning. There is a ton of excellent pickin and grinin' on this disc and anyone who has a love for 70's country rock will dig this disc repeatedly. For me the high points are, along with the title cut, "Slowin' Down", "The Measure of Your Worth" & Sinkin' In The Sea". The only place in the album that I have to struggle to get thru is "Hero Frodo". I was never into the whole Hobbit thing and since the movies came out I'm into it even less now, but other than this one song, which seems to be out of place on this LP, this album is a work of art that still sounds damn good tonight thanks to excellent production and musicianship all around.
Give this one, or any of the Barefoot Jerry albums a go and see if your feet aren't moving around by the second tune.
