John Vermilyea

Once a year, sometimes twice, I receive an album for which a review is simply not needed, because it is just that good. For this year, the first such album was John Mayall “A Special Life”, with the second one now being Wicked Grin’s fantastic new release “Shame On Me”. “Shame On Me” consists of 11 absolutely terrific Tracks, 9 of which are originals… [Track 1] “Outta Time Train”… opened my eyes really wide, right away, and I knew if this sort of stuff kept up, I was going to be in for a terrific ride. … “Heaven”, the closing Track, … [is a] beautifully laid back and raw tune. … just as intense… as brilliant as the opener was, this little gem was equally brilliant as the closer.

“Shame On Me” left me with just 3 words…”More, More, More”, as I can’t wait for them to release their next album… Thoroughly Enjoyed and Highly Recommended
