"Neal Casal is a talented songwriter and musician from New Jersey (although he grew up in various US locations) who has put out six of the best rock n' roll albums recorded in the past ten years. Unfortunately, for stateside listeners reluctant to send check's to Casal's PO Box in NJ for cds (or order them from the Glitterhouse web site), most of his excellent output is not being heard outside of Germany. And that's too bad, because all of his cds are very much worth hearing and 'Anytime Tomorrow', while not as good as his sensational debut (a peerless, must own cd), is no exception.On 'Anytime Tomorrow', Casal is backed by many of the same musicians who performed on his previous albums including organist, pianist John Ginty and pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz. The music on this disc ranges in style from West Coast rock (think Jackson Browne or the Eagles) to the alt-country/Americana genre (think Gram Parsons or early Jayhawks) and focuses on themes of heartbreak, disappointment, and love. The writing is honest and literate and the playing is first rate. Casal's voice is smooth and the tunes are moving, lyrical, and vary from plaintive ("No One Above You", "Time Down the Wind") to driving ("Eddy & Diamonds", "Raining Straight Down", "Camarillo"). There's not a weak song on this disc and very few cds can be recommended as highly as this one. Do yourself a favor, and check it out (of course, you will want all the other Casal discs once you hear this one). Very Highly Recommended."
