funk drenched “ Don’t You Say”, pumping title track “Not The Same Planet” both with rich horn lines to
the Mad Dogs & Englishmen climax of “Feel So Good” There’s plenty of blues with the sleazy shuffle of
“No Difference To Me” and steamy “Tango With The Devil” & Allman Brotherish“One of These Days” to
the New Orleans vibe on “Walk On Water” There is definitely something for everybody here and more.
