Bring 'Em Back Alive
1992
Favorite tracks: Odyssey, Kat Food, Cruise Control
Sleeper tracks: Kashmir, Medley (Take It Off the Top)
I was introduced to this band by a guy that worked at the local music store. We hung down there a lot during the summers. They had this CD playing one day and it sounded awesome. It was cool to hear tight, live music that wasn't jazz. I knew of the drummer, Rod Morgenstein from Modern Drummer magazines and I quickly became aware of guitar legend Steve Morse and bass player Dave LaRue. Actually, I think my friend Bryan might have had a Steve Morse solo album before I heard this record. The band influenced a lot of prog bands that I like so it was extra special to discover this record.
There's so much good playing and it's mind boggling how tight the band is. I was able to see the band open up for Dream Theater in 2000 and was thankful for the opportunity.
