The most consistently enticing disc in the Rock Instrumental Classics series, this is both a great party and driving record and a window on the rhythms that powered soul music in the ’60s (and early ’70s, in two cases). In addition to some obvious choices (the four Booker T. & the MG’s tracks, the Mar-Keys’ “Last Night”), it also offers some left-field picks, such as the varied approaches to Latin music offered by Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, and El Chicano. The stock of virtuoso performances here is all but endless: the bass-and-drums breakdown on Cliff Nobles and Co.’s “The Horse,” the glinting guitar solo on the Bar-Kays’ “Soul Finger,” Hugh Masekela’s questing trumpet on “Grazing in the Grass.” –Rickey Wright

I can describe the latest release from Rock sensation Paul Westerberg for you with just one word… Outstanding!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Paul Westerberg’s most impressive releases ever.

This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it two thumbs up. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Rock fan.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 5 – Dice Behind Your Shades, track 8 – A Few Minutes Of Silence, and track 14 – Down Love.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Knockin On Mine. What a nice track!
