CD ReviewsCould it get better? Probably not! rbprime | Idaho | 05/15/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "While it would be impossible to categorize Franky Perez and The Highway Saints' music (mostly from Franky anyway), it's really not necessary. Franky plays upbeat, fast tempo songs, and slow, sad songs, and he does it all superbly. While the first single you may have seen on VH1, "Something Crazy," is excellent, it is far from the best song on the album. Songs like "Cecilia", "Bella Maria", and "Southwest Side" are awesome, and then there's "Class Act", which is by far my favorite song on the album. The slow songs are great too, with tracks like "Beautiful Mistakes", and "Forever 17" you can't go wrong. Plus, you get 18 tracks (19 with the hidden song, "Winds of Change", also very well-written), as opposed to the meager 10 on most new CDs. If you like rock, get this CD. But don't listen to me. Let Franky prove it to you himself." Las Vegas Live steve angelo | Las Vegas, NV | 07/09/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Perez and his band do an absolutely outstanding job of performing most of the songs on the CD, live. Many titles sound much better live, showing that Perez's raw talent and sound are not the result of over production and engineering like most of today's music. His Las Vegas show at a local casino/resort blew everyone away, especially those in the crowd who grew up on rock from the late 60's and 70's. His cover renditions of Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression" and the Allman Bros. "Whipping Post" were a huge surprise and were better than the live performances of these songs by the original bands. (yes I can still remember them). These covers demonstrated the band's massive talent and range of music they are capable of. Perez is a must see if you get the chance." 19 Perfect, Thought Provoking Folk/Pop Songs. T L Anderson | Nowra, NSW Australia | 12/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "After hearing the first two single's (Something Crazy & Cecilia) I took a chance and bought the album (through import). After the second listen I found it to be a little dark (Something Crazy, Cecilia) , a little uplifting (Maria), and filled with hope and dreams (Forever 17). I can't find fault with this guy. His music speaks to so many people on so many levels. In my experience, it is rare that you find an album that has so much meaning, with every track as strong as the one before it. It has shot to the top of what I see as the best album's of 2003. My hope is that it get's released in Australia, so that they get to know the the gem that I have found."
