This debut opus from former Rationals frontman and Michigan rock semi-legend Scott Morgan gathers some fine originals and carefully selected cover material for a musical blend that's pure Motor City in derivation. With Morgan on rhythm guitar and sharing lead vocals with Kathy Deschaine, the disc kicks off with a cover of Detroit doo woppers the Dynamics' local hit Misery, featuring Deschaine on vocals. The flipside of that single, the comically macho "I'm the Man," is aboard as well, featuring a screaming vocal from Morgan and a pounding beat to back it up. Social consciousness raising comes in the form of two finely wrought compositions, "Other End of the City" and "Dante." The violent drumming of ex-Stooges skin beater Scott Asheton is featured on "I Want More," a Morgan original. Brian Delaney (of Kiss Me Screaming) fortifies all the tracks with solid lead guitar work, especially on "Dreams Never Lie" and a cover of the Stones' "Empty Heart." Former bass player for the Up, Gary Rasmussen keeps a pumping groove going throughout the album and positively shines on "And Then There Was Love." Both sides of Morgan's self-released single, "16 With a Bullet" and his homage to hometown roots rockers, "Detroit," are included as bonus tracks. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
