"Awesome band!!! Kevin and Michael are blessed to have acquired such great band members. I have seen them live a number of times and this CD is just what I have been waiting for. It ROCKS!!! These guys are true performers and their talent shines through on this CD. The song selection is usually what they play live plus a few others and a couple of really nice cover tunes. Boogie is a great song with an awesome little jam that leads into Footloose. Studio is nice but live is ...well, alive and rockin! A must for all Bacon Brothers fans and a great place to start if you want to give these guys a try. So try em you just might like em."

P.S. A Feel Good DVD

"In addition to what I wrote before, the bonus track of Kevin and Michael alone playing together and singing are just priceless. They remind me of me and my brother playing and singing together at family gatherings when he'd come home from CA. which isn't that often. The harmony siblings can bring together somehow outmatch any other. It's like a book you can't put down, a DVD you can't stop!"

A Great Cpmpilation CD

"There are lots of reasons to buy this 2 disc set...1) it has some of the best songs from each CD on it, 2) it has Footloose and Boogie which aren't on any other CDs, 3) it captures some of the energy you experience when they play live, and most importantly 5) it has the extended version of Grace. Grace is one of my all time favorite songs and I had seen them do it live (with the extra verse) so I was surprised when Can't Complain came out and the extra verse wasn't there. I think it was added after the CD had been recorded...so I'm really glad they included it on the Live CD. If you are only going to buy one Bacon Brothers CD I recommend this one because it has songs from the other three. But my hunch is that you will get this and then want more. Like many people, when I first went to see the Bacon Brothers perform it was because Kevin was in the band and I had been a fan for years. And then they started to play and I was blown away by the music. Michael has a great voice, is an amazing musician and I love it when he plays the cello. Not only is Kevin a very powerful song writer he also sings (he has a great voice, too) plays guitar, percussion, harmonica, and really puts his all into each show. And the band is amazing!! Frank, Ira, Paul and Charlie...are all incredibly talented and fun to watch. On this CD (and the DVD) they went a little more formal than most of their shows. They have back-up singers and strings...so it has a slightly different feel, but the energy is still great."
