Firkins also visits Jimi Hendrix twice. "Manic Depression" is done as an instrumental that has that mid-range, late-80s guitar sound that actually resembles Firkins' style. Hendrix would have dug this because he was a great fan of doing things a little differently. The slide that Firkins adds at the end has a nice touch. It's so smooth you have to listen for it.

Hendrix's "Little Wing," done vocal-less, has a grinding fretless bass supplied by John Purtle. The sensational guitar intro here is worth the admission alone.

Firkins adds a couple of Lynyrd Skynyrd tunes too. "I Need You," a ballad with a bluesy taste, is accompanied by some deeply dug-in vocals by Reece. The classic "I Know A Little" just smokes! The original has three different guitarists soloing, and Firkins does all of these parts almost verbatim but with some of his own slide licks to put his signature on this piece. Some nice guitar harmonies resembling Texas swing are strategically placed at the beginning.

A wah-wah pedal combined with Firkins' slide is used to provide the lion's share of the melody line of Henry Mancini's classic "Pink Panther." On the haunting self-penned instrumental and acoustic guitar-driven "The Window," Firkins plays an electric guitar melody line.

His take on Average White Band's "Pick Up The Pieces" rocks more than the funky original version. Again Purtle's fretless bass grumbles throughout with its own great tone. In Firkins' hands, "Caravan," the Duke Ellington number, is a mystic arrangement of carefully placed drums and bass. Firkins' fingers fly all over the fretboard.

The potpourri of material paints Firkins' musical landscape in an unusual way. Yet all the songs are cohesive and sound natural being placed side by side.
