"I just spent ten minutes or so perusing the "customer" reviews and am amazed at the complete dichotomy here! I was a Rock/Blues drummer back in the day ( a day when you could still say hello to Jimi from across MacDougal street) and it never ceases to amaze me as to the preponderance of "IGNANT" and soul-less cretinos amongst our ilk. What is not to like about this "masterwork!" Understated and yet brilliant in its purposeful low key "Burn!" I posses approximately 2000 CD's, of which, an increasing majority are of the Modern electric blues variety. Vince Converse is at the very top of my A list. Different than anyone else, a blend of everyone else BUT, with one essential difference true blue soul n' a touch of that funk! No one is doing what this man is doing. I just wish I could find another copy before the laser in my player burns it completely through!!! To the uninitiated, to the neophyte, to the audiophile I say,....buy this now..and you will never find better tender exchanged!! A superb blues/funk/rock fusion effort! SO go buy now ...and be your own personal witness to transcendence!! Enjoy!"

CONVERSE RULES!!

"I got Vince Converse's Cd back in february and I have been listening to in non stop! I saw him live in September and he plays with Jimi Hendrix's spirit. This album's blend of blues. rock and funk and his unique guitar playing rules! He is not some Stevie Ray Vaughan knock off. He is great, i cant wait to hear more from him."

SUPERB BLUES/ROCK

"After reading reviews ranging from 1 to 5 stars I wasn't sure what to expect. Pleasant surprise all round. Great guitar playing with heaps of originality to add to my collection. Good to great songs and a good voice. True he doesn't re-invent the wheel, but it is a pretty good wheel and I am not sure it needs re-inventing. His tone and phrasing are so original, that I think it would be possible to pick a CONVERSE track amongst dozens of other guitarists ( not something you can say about most guitarists ). Almost every solo is memorable and a masterpiece ( not many better ) For another original take on the blues by a superb virtuoso, this delivers. No regrets, a great CD and I will look out for more releases from this talented guitarist/singer/songwriter."
