Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great!.......2003-05-10

I have the first of his discs which I love, and this is also good, much heavier than the first one, but some good blues rock is what it is. I think his voice is very powerful, but not overly growly, and his piano playing is supergood. Definitely recommend this!

1 out of 5 stars You've got to be kidding.......2002-02-22

This is probably the worst music I've heard in my life, and I've heard some bad stuff in almost 1/2 a century -- altho way more good - great - incredible! than bad. I'm embarrassed for his incredibly talented father.

5 out of 5 stars PLAY IT AGAIN A.J........2002-01-03

His first album was very good. His second album was OK. But "Fit To Serve" is Croce's best one yet. His vocals sound stronger here, but even more important, the songs are much better. Croce can play a mean barrelhouse type piano too. He's the kind of guy you might see playing behind the chicken wire in an old roadhouse somewhere. Unlike his more folk oriented dad, Croce is a tougher, hard edged blues/r&b/soul player. This guy can both ravage your soul and touch your heart with his music. What I like most about this album is that it retains the raw energy of a live show. Good examples of this are the jumpy tunes "I Don't Mind", "I'll Get Through", "Texas Ruby" (a good one), and the very Ray Charles-like "Judgement Day". He saves his best for last on "Nobody Else". A great song with heart-tugging lyrics about the battle of kicking alcohol. This is an excellent album by an artist who obviously has a great love for his craft. I have a feeling one day everyone is going to catch on to this guys music, and he'll eventually get his "time in a bottle". He's just too talented to go unnoticed for long. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy "Fit To Serve". His best album to date, and it comes highly recommended.!

5 out of 5 stars The big voice.......1999-12-02

I am a fan from France (so sorry for my english). I heard AJ's 1st album on french tv channel and then I became a fan ! His voice is so incredible and his blues/jazz sound is so deep ! My favorite is his 1st and 3rd album and I really expect a show soon in France ! This last Album will enjoy you !
