Pool Hall Sessions - Midway 

Omigod!!! I loved this CD!!!  Okay, now that that initial reaction is outta
my mind, I can move on.  As I said about Vivial Sayles, Midway is not my
usual type of music.  But it's no quite as far off as VQS is from it.  It's
actually got an alternative rock feel, and it reminds me at times of
Counting Crows.  Oddly, I'm not really a fan of Adam Duritz, but for some
reason I liked THIS, despite it's resemblence.  The first song Anne Marie
was so be-boppy and catchy, in a way that might normally annoy me, but
Midway does it and makes it good.  I can't say enough about this CD.  If
you like The Counting Crows, or any of the roots-grunge music, you will
love this and I highly recommend you add it to your collection.  You can
get it, or VQS through:
