Craig Benson: drums Patrick Bettison: melodica, keyboards Gale Trippsmith: backing vocals Kirk Adams: vocals, guitars, bass, keys, percussion Larry Rubin, second guitar solo in "Under The Weather" “…a masterpiece, qualified as thus because it is filled with munificent metaphor and an abundance of allegory and allusion, all in perfect alignment with its music. That is why Little Elevator is not just another CD where the person or group of its origin whines about lost loves and wallows in its own putrid sense of ego. Kirk has found the courage of deconstruction in his personality, technical skill and showmanship. Kirk called the new CD a departure from his trademark presentations. But that is a conservative description of this work. Indeed, this is a universe apart from a collection of great melodies, clean licks and fine harmonies. This work is the conspiracy of elements that conjure more than the goods of a fantastic musician” – Frank Cotolo
