Former Late Night with David Letterman guitarist Hiram Bullock turns in one impressive session on this jazzy ten-track collection. As always, Bullock's guitar alternately sings gently and squalls with an almost rock-like intensity. The big surprise is that Hiram spices up his consummate picking with surprising vocal turns on &What You Won't Do for Love,& &We're Gonna Get It Right,& &Montevideo,& the humorous &Bean Burrito,& Stevie Wonder's &Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing& and the title track. Bullock's impressive guitar chops are well to the fore throughout, even on the vocal numbers with bluesy and jazzy showcases on &Amazonas& and &And the Melody Lingers On (A Night In Tunisia).& With strong Latin percussion and a distinct salsa bent to the background framing Bullock's strong guitar work, this is a delightful album without a weak cut in the batch.
