I honestly thought, reading the title, that this was some sort of cover album, a homage, if you will, to the greats of the past, and given the opener that idea would seem to be reinforced. What an unfortunate choice for a song title though! "Brown Wind and Fire"? Sounds like the boys have been hanging out too much at the local Mexican restaurant!
But basically no, seems it's just the titles that are a little of a paying your dues thing, and mostly I find this like maybe being in the middle of a Mariachi party with Carlos Santana as special guest. Like a few others have said, it's ok but nothing terribly special and I doubt I'd be sitting through it again, or any of their other albums. Pity: I was expecting more.
