4 out of 5 stars Great guitars - average voice.......2007-02-20

I'm from the 60's generation and I love the music from that era and in particular the British Invasion. Many of these songs are reminiscent of that music. If you like the music of the Byrds, you will like this music. But Bill Lloyd's voice is underwhelming. That isn't a condemnation of this CD by a longshot. Many performers lack a strong voice. Not everyone out there is Bocelli or even Radney Foster (his ex partner)for that matter. But, you may want to know going in that the music tends to overpower Lloyd's voice.

Knowing that, the music here is very good, even on the first listen. Songs like the title track, "Back To Even", "Almost Taken", and "For The Longest Time" will not just bring you back in time but stand on their own as beautiful music. Guitars rule and there is a layered jingle jangle sound that transcends the decades. After a few listens these songs will run around your brain and put a smile on your face.

There are only a couple of songs that seem out of place on this CD but there is enough here for you to risk your money and please your ears.

4 out of 5 stars Jangle Fever!.......2005-09-15

If you like the jangle of an electric 12 string guitar ala the Byrds, Beatles, Matthew Sweet, Myracle Brah and other Power Pop groups, you'll like this one by Mr. Lloyd!

4 out of 5 stars A very good effort........2005-06-08

This album is for all of us who love the strumming, purring and jangling of 12-string guitars. Slick production, shimmering guitars and catchy melodies abound. Lloyd's weakness, his voice, is less noticeable on this album than on others, and the songs are almost uniformly strong. There are a couple that I sometimes skip past, but out of 14 real songs, that's not bad. Recommend for guitar pop fans.
