Scaggs & Randy Sharp smothered together
Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 26th, 2005

On this outing, Smotherman sounds somewhat like Randy Sharp (at his loudest) as the New Orleans swagger mixes with more funky beats while not ignoring country influences altogether though on some of the ballads such as "I've gotten used to the crying" & the closing "Can you fool" he sounds halfway to Boz Scaggs (at his mellowest) territory. Billy is just listed as one of three people playing "guitars" on this album and it doesn't say which songs he plays on but there are two songs that Billy is listed as co-writing with Smotherman (who took part in writing every song on this album) there's another ballad called "It's only once you know" which could have very easily been done by Billy on "Between friends" and "Roll on brother" which has that distinctive train rumbling rhythm track that Billy has used on many great songs in the past to wonderful effect. Smotherman is more pop orientated on his 1982 album but if you think you'd prefer this then go for it, I think the songs on the '82 album are slightly more catchy though.

Absolutely Outstanding!
Review written by Amy Smotherman (otaypankie@aol.com), May 26th, 2005

I guess I'm a little biased because he is my dad, but out of all the albums he has released, this one is my favorite

This album is not to be confused with his self titled 1982 Epic album.
