Another original, "Until We Try", features the late genius, George Duke, and after the sound of a needle dropping on scratchy vinyl, a drum beat reminiscent of Jr Walker’s "Shotgun" flows into a superb soul flow of horn arrangement, guitars and McMaster’s blue-eyed soul vocals.”

New songs blend in perfectly with the charming covers, which in case you missed my point, I am saying that McMaster’s originals have the capacity to stand toe to toe with some memorable classic tracks and you won’t know the difference between the two.”
