Mike Zito - Today Review
His raspy vocals (reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughn) are the perfect compliment to his guitar that straddles the line between blues and rock. He shows a broad range of influences, both from the world of blues and rock. The beginning of "Universe" somehow reminds me of Pearl Jam. "Blinded" shows some very disparate influences. There is a little Doobie Brothers in the rhythm guitar while the lead guitar tends more toward Santana.
This is a very strong album that includes twelve originals and a really easygoing cover of "Little Red Corvette." Zito is clearly a talented songwriter. And while he is a very solid guitar player, he doesn't indulge in a lot of solos. In fact, I think perhaps he could include some more. Teresa James and Ce Ce Bullard provide excellent backing vocals throughout the album. Overall, it's a really good effort and I expect more good things from Zito.
