This first cut in this CD is titled, GOIN' STEADY WITH YOU, which has a great '50's feel to it that reminds me of Richie Valens, which is great to hear. WE CAN FIND IT reminds me of a bit of a song that Todd Rundgren could do with ease. I'm quite impressed, to say the least. HE CAN FLY is a short song with great harmonies that I could see The Beach Boys singing. Check this one out.
IT'S ALRIGHT IT'S OK has reflections of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. The lyrics are superb, and the melody gets in your head. I BELIEVE SHE BELIEVES is quite impressive with great lyrics and a rock and roll beat. This one is great. The 59'th STREET BRIDGE SONG is their version of the Simon and Garfunkel song. Check it for yourself. This is a great version of the song.
RED RUBBER BALL brings this epic CD to an end. This CD is a big treat to all CYRKLE fans and a MUST TO HAVE. I'd like to give a BIG THANK YOU to REX BROOME and CHRISTINA BULBENKO from BIG STIR RECORDS for being in touch with me. You can find the band at: Wikipedia, Big Stir Records, You tube, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE]
