The overall sound is as clean as the air after a thunder storm. The ghost of B.J. Royal haunts Norm’s vocals, but

only a little — there’s no imitation here.

The production is contemporary and the sound affects are not overdone. Ba-

sically, what we’re saying is we think

your listeners will get a bolt out of it — so give Norm a spin and see how he strikes you.
