Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting towards an explicitly commercial, vocal-driven sound, the acclaimed session guitarist scored a massive hit with the breezy single 'Is It You'. 'Rit' relies heavily on Eric Tagg's smooth vocal delivery, masterfully marrying intricate jazz-funk musicianship with the luxurious, sun-drenched aesthetic of yacht rock.
