O’s Notes: This quartet features Chad (d), Alan Holdsworth (g), Jim Cox (keys) and Jimmy Johnson (b). The music is fresh rocky fusion penned by Wackerman and his band. The eleven tracks are nicely grouped with interludes to separate the racy tracks from the cooler ones. Allan’s guitar stands out with rock-based melodies. Our favorite: “You Came Along”.
