Jer's voice and guitar full of passion. Brings it all back home after a great stretch of tasty jams.

Pretty but Powerful. Donna sounds great this whole Summer but the boys bring the punch here, too, especially toward the end.

Surprised this one doesn't get more love. Felt like MSG was a spaceship about to lift off!

Surprised this one isn't getting more love. The jams aren't super long but they are intense. Donna and Jerry shine.

Super soulful from the first notes. Sounds like Keith going back and forth between organ and piano (or is that Ned on organ?), and the organ parts are so sweet early on.

Perhaps the best standalone Scarlet ever. Listen to how the drums go upbeat during the long outtro jam and the whole band climbs to a new level in response. Had me smiling broadly!
