"This is by far your best work. It is smooth and tasty like an old friend. I am truly sorry I didn't get to play on this Masterpiece. From the perfectly placed piano, the acoustic guitar as the bass and drum lock together forming a solid foundation. The vocals are full of passion and the phrasing is masterful, taking the listener on a journey through the landscape Woody creates for his character. The cool blend of jazz, soul and old school rock, gives all of us "older songwriters" hope that real music is always welcome. The mix is superb although I did feel the kick in "Cowboy Babylon", was a little too up front for my taste, but that's just me. Over all, A Brand New Situation, is a five star celebration of quality music, songwriter craft and production skills. The stand out tracks are " Cowboy in Babylon" and "Walking on a Saturday Night". The only thing I missed were soaring back ground vocals to support the mastery of Woody. Still it is an easy piece to sit back and enjoy with your favorite ah, beverage, while relaxing to this wonderful collection of songs. The sax in Sombrero Fallout is haunting and suits the song like an expensive glove. I can't say enough about the piano work on several cuts, simply beautiful. I hope everyone gets the chance to hear this heart felt album by Woody Moran, you deserve to hear this. I've played it about 30 times in the last few days and it only get better."
