Charles Tiner’s powerhouse vocals are tempered with just the right touch of focus and sheen to make any song he takes on here a commanding performance.  These features meet with mirror image lyric sets that make for some very stylish blues- “Bad Woman”, “Blue Moon”, “Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right” and some seriously fiery inspirational fare- “Peace By The River”.  The Windy City-born singer-songwriter is no slouch on keyboards as well.  Production values here set a high bar for self-released recordings.  An early “Best Of” candidate for the year.
