After an early retirement, Dan Stuart decided he still had some songs left to write and so he reunited with Green On Red (with Chuck Prophet), Danny & Dusty (with Steve Wynn) and an all new band called The Slummers.
It’s with that last outfit that Stuart recently released “Love Of The Amateur”, an album filled with everything from well-arranged ballads and melancholy country to riveting rock ‘n roll tunes that bring the best of the Stones to mind. Along with producer, songwriter and vocalist JD Foster and an Italian connection called Diego Sapignoli and Antonio Gramentieri, Stuart dishes out a bunch of songs that will sweep you right off your feet.
The diversity in songs may make for a not so logical sequencing on “Love Of The Amateur” but there’s no denying these guys know how to write solid songs that will either make you want to move your hips or grab ahold of the person standing next to you. This will make their live shows a fun experience that could also be a bit awkward depending on who’s standing next to you.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
