...music. But you agree with vocalist John McCrea, accepting what the guitar has to say, the lyrics and everything else about the music. Whether McCrea is accusatory, contemplative or in love, he always fits. He takes his time and saunters through "Guitar" and "Mexico," a slow, soft and charming waltz that takes your hand and asks you to dance. The very first track, "Satan is my Motor," is sweet and funky at the same time; it's all you need to be happy for three minutes and twelve seconds. Straightforward and simple, the energy of the album is unmistakable...

...plays nearly 200 mostly sold-out gigs annually. Ferguson's stature and nurturing generosity have long attracted talented young musicians, but this exceptional group really cooks with revitalized standards (Just Friends gets a swinging, brassy treatment spiced with a fugue) and exciting new compositions, including the tuneful, scintillatingly played Waltz for Nicole and a lovely ballad, Milk of the Moon, that displays Ferguson's romantic side...
