When it comes to pure funk, "Rumblin' Bumblin' Stumblin'" delivers. Shades of Tower of Power are evident throughout. Mennonna's short staccato like approach keeps the groove alive. A tightly woven melody along with fine musicianship make this an unforgettable delight.

"Magic Potion" is another ballad featuring Mennonna's poignant sax. The trio's sensitivity and control are evident throughout.

With a welcome organ intro, "Nothing You Can Do" is a vocal vehicle highlighting the contemporary rhythms and vocal skills of Dana Calitri and Porter Carroll. Mennonna's sax offers a smooth musical blanket to the arrangement.

"Open Road", with it's bouncy melody features a keyboard intro from Mennonna before the rest of the trio join into the celebration.
