Free Music Review: NY Cats: Cool NY Session Musicians Do Great Stuff
Hit: 4 Stars
John Tropea's first albums produced in the late 70's were amalgamations of competent session players producing a frenetic, but very slick sound. This continues with this set of songs that have both the competency of his earlier work with the verve of an "almost" live direct recording. No overdubs or re-mastering. It's "get it right the first time" and everyone playing has to be in the groove.
This makes for a very edgy feel to the solid playing these folks do. They reprise one particularly good number, Tamborine. Tropea's guitar just glides along through the panoply of riffs that drives this tune.
All in all, a very satisfying album.
