"A Fantastic CD by the late great Chris Gaffney. Gaff had a voice between Country & Soul and he could do both styles and much more all equally well. From the first song "Lift Your Leg" you know you are in for a good time. "Fight(Tonight's The Night" and "Lonely Mile" are more uptempo fun. "As Far As I'm Concerned" sounds like a lost 60's country classic. He is an great story teller and his weathered soulfull voice pulls you into these songs. You can tell he had lived most of what he sang about. His wry humor is hilarious. I only had the privilage to see Chris with The Hacienda Brothers one time (Thanks Hal) but "WHAT A SHOW". With this CD I now have all of his solo CD's that I know of and of course the fantastic Hacienda Brothers CD's. I hope this CD and his others will be re-released or even better a Gaff box set. His music was melting pot of country, roots rock, soul, and norteño. Buy any Chris Gaffney Or Hacienda Brothers CD and turn it up and enjoy."
