Play On - Fun and Engaging Interactive Games for Kids & Families | Perfect for Indoor Play, Parties, and Family Game Nights

Every once in a while you run into an album that nobody else seems to know about, and based on the fact that there are only two prior reviews for this CD on Amazon, and the last one is years old, I felt this listing needed an update.Any fan of superb melodic pop/power pop/Raspberries/Badfinger/Jeff Foskett/Chris Cross/America, etc. will LOVE this superb album by Scott McCarl, who joined The Raspberries late in the game, just before their superb fourth and final album, STARTING OVER. Scott contributed mightily to that album, you can experience much more of his talents on his solo album PLAY ON. There are ten new songs as well as seven songs that provide some insight into his musical growth and direction through the years.There isn't a bad track on the album, ranging from songs that would have fit right in on any Raspberries' album to a spectacular version of the Beatles' "Yes It Is." What's amazing is how fast this CD is over after you press "play." Not that the album is short, as it certainly isn't -- it has a generous amount of music on it. But it is all so good that you just enjoy it without thinking, and as they say, "time sure flies when you're having fun." The liner notes are wonderful as well, written by a friend of Scott's, and they're just perfect for this release.If Scott felt it was important to do something to fight the rejection he'd faced throughout much of his musical life and just get these songs out so he could say "he did it," well, he did more than just "do it." He released one of the more enjoyable melodic pop albums in many a year, and one hopes that he has not given up on the musical world, as he obviously has a lot more to share with those of us lucky enough to be on the lookout for such future recordings.
