I first saw Hiram Bullock back in August of 1988 when he was on tour with David Sanborn. The show was scorching hot, believe me and not in small part to the guitar player, a guy I hadn't heard of until then -- named Hiram Bullock. Bullock's fiery playing and stage presence so impressed me that I immediately went out and bought this CD. I wasn't disappointed and neither will you be if you like Hiram's unique style that I can best describe as an overdriven rock-funk-fusion mix combined with a sophisticated melodic sense. I don't know if he still plays the battered sunburst Fender Strat (modified with what appear to be Gibson humbuckers) anymore, but he gets just the right sound to suit his playing style. If you're a guitar player you'll find a lot of material to listen to here. On this album, he is ably supported by a core group of veteran musicians that were on the Sanborn tour -- and later were the house band on Sanborn's "Night Music" music anthology series on NBC. These stalwarts include Sanborn, Don Alias (percussion virtuoso) and Ricky Peterson (keyboards). Will Lee is on bass, Charley Drayton is on drums and on some tracks, you'll hear the Brecker brothers as well. Also of note, Al Jarreau handles the vocal on a fine cover of the great Sam Cooke's "You Send Me." I've been listening to this CD for going on 13 years and I still like it and play it with regularity. In the meantime I've added several hundred other CDs to my collection, so I guess "Give it What U Got," was a good choice. This CD fits into my lifestyle -- you can listen to it alone at home or in the car, with a companion on a romantic evening or put it in the party mix -- you won't be disappointed. One other thing: If you can find "Way Kool," the CD that followed this one, make sure you do. It's out of print, but it picks up where this one leaves off....
