It is good to have Tom going 'solo' on his new CD "Riding Into Town," ironically with a bigger band! Paul Gilmore on bass and Tom Peterson on drums provide a solid live rock band feel for these mostly Western-themed tracks. But the real delight here is local guitar hero John Brzoza on lead. Whether giving Mexican stylings to "Pretty Senorita," Caribbean atmosphere to the Jimmy Buffet-ish "Mailboat Man," or going all-out for "The Well," and especially in a Stevie Ray Vaughn style rave-up on the seven-minute "Breaking Stones," Brzoza always shines, giving these easygoing songs depth and sparkle. Hood's vocals are relaxed and appealing, and he adds competent harmonica here and there. The southwest/Mexican atmosphere continues throughout the disc, from the cowboy-movie title track, through the bilingual ballad "Contigo," to everyone's favorite barroom sing-along, "No Mas No Mas."
