Bernie Mora brings his guitar and writing skills together with a funky and rocking band on this session. The team of Doc Anthony/dr, Robert Vance/b, Corey Allen/key and Munyungo Jackson/perc form a hard hitting rhythm section, and with a horn section of Doug Webb/sax and Lee Thornburg/brass they can sound like James Brown’s Fabulous Flames on material like “Slippery When Wet” and “Full Moon Funk.” Mora’s guitar rings like Carlos Santana’s bell on “Twilight Tango” yet can also get soft and soothing on the acoustic title track. Hard driving cruisers like “JB 111” and the bouncy waltz “Canyon Waltz” will make you think it’s Wednesday Night Chevy Night on Sepulveda Blvd. Get your motor runnin’!
