Incredible!!! I do not understand the people saying nothing special.

And I say incredible before I even knew of Jason's problem. He had to deal with his problem while recording the album. Amazing.

From Jason Beckers Website
"From my point of view the first song and last two songs are totally awesome. The rest has some great moments but, to me, not as constantly as I would have preferred. I learned so much from every musician on this CD. I treasure their friendships and examples. What a treat to work with such pros."

The last two tracks on the CD are the standout ones for me too and Drop it in the bucket is the best song on the album IMHO.

I wish Roth had got JB to write more songs.

Cheers!

40 Below and Drop In The Bucket are probably my two favorite tracks on the album. I love Sensible Shoes too. I'd rather listen to these three than the title track, which is pretty much a straight-ahead Dave rocker.

"drop in the bucket" doesn't start off as a killer song. but it builds. by the time the final, "here come one more drop in the bucket," hook and becker's solo come along, it's kicking.


somehow, by the time the song ends, every time i listen to it, i'm never ready for it to end. (which is probably the way a great song is supposed to go. always leave 'em wanting more.)

Totally agree with that last comment........

Any tune with D-Ro on harp is killah.

It's probably one of the best tunes on ALAE. And it's cool that Jason wrote it himself

the roth/becker package could have been something big...

I really like that song, and that album.

Becker was really talented...
