Line Drive- Attitude and Class Line Drive, New Jersey’s critically acclaimed R&B powerhouse, has knocked the socks off their audiences for years, with a fan base in the tens of thousands, and has produced two CDs of timeless music. As with all great bands, their music has, and will continue to acquire fans over many decades. This is a musician’s band, as well as a crowd pleaser! Every song on this disc is a very catchy, sophisticated blend of party-jazz and irrepressible rhythm & blues. “We Coulda’ Been Contenders,” contains a unique blend of contemporary rhythm & blues, spicy horns, and electrifying vocals, with lyrics that are clever, intelligent, and subtle, and seasoned with well-crafted solo work. The CD kicks off with the energetic “My Baby,” a soul-inflicted popper. “Worlds Apart” is reminiscent of Sting’s more beautiful and moody work, and “Everybody” is a world-beat tour de force. In fact, every track on this disc is memorable! It covers a lot of bases without seeming scattered. Although Line Drive is unique in it’s approach; there isn’t anything out there quite like it, in general, the music on this CD can be favorably compared to the likes of Stevie Wonder, Sting, Earth Wind & Fire, Bruce Hornsby, and Level 42, if you can imagine a stew with those ingredients, simmering on the stereo, the fragrant aromas wafting through your ears! This is a classic disc from a band with a headline that would no doubt read; Line Drive- Attitude and Class. “This band is so good, they should change their name to ‘Home Run,’ or ‘Grand Slam!’ Grover Washington Jr. The musicianship throughout is stellar, and I thought the production was solid as well!
