Many bands find me on My Space. Often I listen but rarely do I react. This was one of those instances where the songs, voice, and instrumental chops transcended the 'space.' The Gil Reynolds Trio has produced a most impressive little disc, highlighted by the bittersweet ballad, "Sparrow," a mature composition that hearkens the John Barleycorn era of Traffic. Equally notable are the playful, sarcastic boogie-woogie of "Popcorn Blues," and "What Kind of Love Is This?" The sass is definitely in the brass.
