Mixing up the laid back rock and folk of mid-seventies Southern California with country and rock n roll, Collin Raye creates a sophisticated and diverse album on Never Going Back. Full of songs that subtly recall thegreat, organic music of that era, Raye pulls them right into the future with his distinctive sound and style.Recorded in Alabama's historic Muscle Shoals, the album feels guided by the ghosts of the country, rock, blues and pop albums that the region cultivated throughout the '70s. And like a fantastic LP, this CD is great from start to finish. From the roaring, feel-good romp of Mid-LifeChrysler, and the powerful reworking of Without You (a duet with Grammy nominee Susan Ashton) to the unforgettable, intensely personal She's With Me, every tune is finelycrafted, sure to connect with his legions of fans.
