Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection.
In the early '80s the blight of commercialitis had severely degraded the quality of progressive music being created.
Steve Morse (guitar) and T Lavitz (keyboards), the creative foundation of the Dixie Dregs, produced an outstanding record with this effort. Joined by Rod Morgenstein (drums), Andy West (bass). and Alan Sloan (violin), they finally released a studio recording of Cruise Control, a regular show closer for the band to this day. Kat Food is another outstanding track. Carefully arranged and tightly rehearsed, this album represents a tour de force for the band, both in performance and composition. Day 444 is a hidden gem, dedicated to the American hostages held in the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran, for 444 days. This piece is a beautiful ballad that the band rarely performs. This composition alone makes the album worth getting. The band's blend of jazz, rock, country, and western classical music remains as satisfying to listen to as it did when this was released.
