I'm trying to get into BCC, but am having a tougher time with it. Not because I don't like the music, but I'm just not a fan of Glenn's vocals. He's not a horrible singer by any means, but I find a lot of his singing to be kind of grating. But, I'm trying. I definitely do like the couple of BCC songs that Joe sings on a lot more.

Not being a fan of Glenn's vocals is obviously a big obstacle. I'm a big fan of his voice and I love BBC, but I do prefer Joe solo and of course with Beth Hart.

Also, Molly's intro sounds very similar to the intro to Mountain Climbing from his last release. Not the whole song, but that intro and the main riff throughout each of the verses. Again, good stuff

You know, I blew off this guy for so many years as just kind of something that didn't turn my crank. I don't know what changed my mind in the past 6-12 months, but I love SO MUCH of his work now. I love his originals, I love most of his covers (both solo, with Beth Hart and a couple other things I've seen him involved in). Had a chance to see him a couple of years back, I blew it off. Really wish that I hadn't. I would LOVE to see Joe in the live setting.

Love all of the different songs that he touches on in this song. Just Got Paid is the meat and potatoes of the track, but he's even hitting on Whitesnake in the middle of it, Jeff Beck at the beginning, Zeppelin towards the end. Good stuff.

It also really amazes me how close he is with Billy F Gibbons' guitar sound/tone in the beginning of this track. Not a lot of guys seem to be able to duplicate Billy's sound. Joe gets pretty damn close here.
