CD ReviewsWet willie NOT !! Clint from Georgia | 03/22/2005 (1 out of 5 stars) "Sorry, but if it ain't got Jimmy Hall, it ain't Wet Willie!!!" Hum Drum Matthew L. Higley | Utah | 03/23/2005 (2 out of 5 stars) "The lead singer's voice is not as full as Jimmy's voice, they play the songs a little faster than normal. Jimmy's southern drawl just makes the music sound better, when he sings. I have seen the original band in concert with a horn section and the willettes as the backing vocals' and the concert was done right after they did their last record album. For me being a hard core fan of Wet Willie and if you are a hard core fan of Wet Willie.I DO NOT recommend this CD highly.It's not worth it." Which One's Willie? AJ82 | Ohio | 07/22/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Probably the hardest thing a band can go through is replacing the lead vocalist. Only a few groups have had some success with this - Van Halen, Chicago and Bad Company. And usually there are the die-hards that remain faithful to the original line-up and dismiss the band. In this case, the lead singer is not Jimmy Hall - and Jimmy had a very distinct vocal style and sound - he's probably one of the best Southern style vocalists around. The vocalist here has a very New Orleans (or cajun) sound - and while he's not Jimmy - he doesn't pretend to be him either. He does a very capable job with the material. The recording quality/mixing is very good and the audience is not over-bearing. Most important, it's great to hear the band get out and perform once again. I would have given the album 5 stars but 3 key songs (in my eyes) are missing - "Weekend", "Make You Feel Love Again" and "Rainman" (by Michael Duke). The last two songs from the fantastic "Manorisms" album. With the current release of Wet Willie's Epic Record albums on a single disc - that's probably the better route to go. But I must say that this is a very good release and would definitely hunt it down, especially on the used market!"
