Review:

This new Mobile Home Records production was original recorded in the hot Alabama summer of 2005, at Tao Place in Ozark, David has told me. It was the first album ever where David used to play an electric-guitar instead of his "old-buddy", the 'Martin' acoustic-one. On most of the tracks he played it to the different rhythms of a drum-machine. So at first listening it sounds a bit unusual for me, but after listen to it again and again I’m getting much more comfortable with it. All eleven tracks are new Songs, never published on any other David Munyon CD so far. "Too Cool", the title-track of the album sounds like it called: A really cool and modern one with a "too cool" guiding rhythm. I really wish some radio-stations would give this one some airplay …! Two more favourite tracks of mine are "Fabreeze the cavalier" and "In between the realm of reason".  The last Song on the CD is "I want your love". This one shows again at its best David’s great talent of writing very emotional and deep-touching, beautiful Love-Songs. David Munyon playing his origin acoustic-style is what I’ll like most for ever, but this is an interesting and worth listening electric-excursion, which awakes my hope to hear a real rockin’ Band album like "Acrylic Teepees" again soon.
