Good Music: Not Falling Far From the Tree?

While the flow of music CDs recorded by Western New York bands has slowed down here at Buffalo Roots, both the web site and this blog (partly through the lateness in reviewing some, and I apologize and vow to improve on that), one recently came this way that is breathtakingly good.
"Broken Hearts and the Human Response," the new CD by Jungle, is simply fantastic. I have had the chance to listen to it for about two weeks, and from the first time I heard it I was amazed. Not only are the songs very good, the musicianship and singing are sharp, the production is of high quality, the variety is amazing (melodic rock, funky rock, bluesy rock, pop rock, progressive rock) and on the whole, the CD sounds like a work by a band that has been recording for years and had some success. I will publish a full review of it soon.
And referring to the title of this entry, one of the musicians in the band and also supplier and designer of the CD artwork is Jeffrey Vincent, who is the son of guitarist Don Vincent of Pine Dogs and Shaking Hands fame.
