"When I was in college in Macon, Georgia in the 70's, I was lucky enough to see Chuck Leavell and Sea Level on any given weekend at a small off-campus bar, sometimes jamming with members of the Allman Brothers; I was delighted to finally find this CD after searching for it for several years (I lost my original LP to an unworthy boyfriend!).The influence of the Brothers Allman are definately apparent in Sea Level's music, and as someone who was lucky enough to see them numerous times in an intimate setting when my contemporaries were listening to Loverboy and Foghat, I can definately say that Chuck and his bandmates were ahead of their time!If you are new to this artist's music and only have the "greatest hits" CD, treat yourself to this recording as well. I may be biased, as all tracks have a memory for me, but I think you can make your own. Great music for brunch-I hope Chuck plays it for his guests as they dine at the Bed and Breakfast he runs in Georgia!"

A certain Southern Sound

"There is a certain southern instrumental sound that you get on Albums like Eat a Peach and the early Dregs albums. If you like that sound, go buy this album. I remember listening to this band open for George Benson at a club in Chicago. Benson was great as usual. But I remember these guys bringing the house down as a prelude."

One More Thing...

"Leavell is da man, and I don't mean to take anything away from him, but somebody should mention that in addition to some of the sharpest fusion instrumentals ever this album has two fine vocal songs by one of America's great songwriters, Randall Bramblett: "That's Your Secret" and "It Hurts When You want It So Bad.""
