Classic!: This is the best CD I've picked up so far this year. Not a bad track on the entire album and the bonus CD is great, too! "Amphetamine" may be the best driving song ever!
Can I give 7 stars?: Nobody seems to know him, but if the world was a just place, Steve Wynn would be the Superstar and all the Justin Timberlakes of the world would earn their money at a MacDonalds counter. Alas, the world is not a just place and so the Einstein of music has to wait in line behind the spelling bee champions ... Powerful, mighty, fun, different - this is what this CD is. Simply the best music around these days. And "Amphetamine" is the song to let your Mustang rip through a starless night on a deserted highway in the Arizonian desert. Magical and dangerous this is - so if you are brave enough to leave the hype behind you, a new world lays before you which will accept no surrender.
Another great one: I think the "Sticky Fingers/Exile on Main St." analogy not bad! This one has a 'brighter' patina in a way than'Here Come the Miracles," but no less compelling. In fact, in some ways I've grown to like it more. A bit of soul drifts in & some brighter ideas-- but there's still that 'noir' "Day of the Locust" LA not far underneath (even if he lives in Tucson!). Wynn & the Miracle 3 surely one of the best groups now using 'layering' of guitars & spacious, yet still rock, sound. Only Chuck Prophet in the same universe IMO. Great album!!
