    Valoración: GREAT

Scottie Miller comes back to the front line with a new warm appetizing work on his hands, which combines an actual solid execution but at the same time an undeniable attraction For the album Miller has composed a series of songs with lyrics that will leave more than one totally astonished for the introspective items they propose that at the same time are filled with a great interpretative strength Besides a good vocalist who sometimes could make us remember Dr John, Miller is also a highly skilled instrumentalist who expresses himself through the three instruments he plays, piano, organ, and mandolin, that show he feels very comfortable along the twelve songs included in the album Starting with New Orleans and some Americana music as solid basis, Scottie designs and bulls up a personal repertoire, where you will find different ingredients like blues and gospel along clever and tasteful songs whose rhythms invite to dance and have fun Backed by an excellent horn section as well as the generous contribution of Patrick Allen on guitar and vocals, Dik Shopteau on bass and vocals, Mark O’Day on drums and percussion, plus to the collaboration of singer Ruthie Foster in the song Keep This Good Thing Going, the whole recording communicates beauty, satisfaction and joy in equal parts In short words, this is an album that creates addiction by its outstanding quality and tasteful variety
