5 out of 5 stars Alex still rocks !.......2007-02-12

I can't believe I never new of thie existence of this album until a link on Amazon showed it. I thought it must be some old SAHB stuff rehashed after his departure. However, I was surprised and absolutely delighted with the album. ALex at his brilliant , unique, celtic self.

Billy Bolero and Mitzi and ... well ALL of the tracks are fantastic. I listened to the album on Saturday night over dinner and smiled the whole time. The next day working in the garage I blasted it full blast while singing along ;-) Magic Alex, gone but not forgotten.
