简介

The long-awaited debut CD from East Tennessee's own Last Call has finally arrived! The CD is a ten-track barrage of country-rock grooves sure to please fans of any genre. The radio single "A Better Man" was chosen as the lead track for the CD. The song has done very well on iTunes and Amazon but was remixed for the album to mesh better sonically with the other tunes on the disc. The mix here is even stronger than on the CD, with a less-round bottom end and more punch. Next up is "Dusty Lake Road" a story of young love growing on a back road outside Small Town USA. The strong, upbeat effort has been tabbed as the band's next single. "Thinkin' 'Bout Drinkin'" Is the rowdiest song on the track list. It's pure Texas-style barroom boogie that will get your feet tapping. It is followed by the CD's first ballad, "Inhibitions". The acoustic guitar and Rhodes-style piano drive the song and back Josh Arnold's raspy vocal. The album cranks back up again with the next track, "Funk #17". It's most definitely funky and a throwback to the 1970's era. Is this a country record or a Parliament concert? Either way the track is a stout effort with the guitar, bass, and drums providing a funky groove that's simple but intricate in its own way. "Black Dress" is sure to please the college crowd. It's definitely the most pop-oriented song on the disc and another texture is introduced here with the B3 organ crying in the background. "Promise" is another ballad but while "Inhibitions" was more sparse, this one builds toward a power ballad. Last Call's blues influence is evident on the track "The Ballad Of Lee Duncan", complete with a harmonica solo. The rhythm section reminds me of something Stevie Ray Vaughn's band "Double Trouble" would do in backing him. "With You" introduces yet another texture as the song opens similar to the two previous ballads but quickly ditches the keyboard and features acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin. This one's not only an unexpected change up but a real treat as well. The album wraps up with the hauntingly simple, "Tired". This one features only the vocals of Justin Duncan and an acoustic guitar. It too is a major change and shows versatility in the band's sonic landscape.
