It really shows that The Dixie Dregs have come Full Circle. Toxic Shuffle Steve's first 'solo' record is possibly one of his best works ever. The obvious stand out here is On the Pipe with some incredible flowing guitar licks and a complicated, tight rhythm section. General Lee is a dueling guitar exchange with Albert Lee who traded licks with Blackmore on the obscure Green Bulfrog album. Other standouts include Cruise Missile, V.H.F. and the melodic The Whistle .
Every song here is great.
The best description of this album is beautiful, which is what it is. The songs have a soothing, feel-good mood to them. This is Steve's first 'solo' record, but it has many familiar musicians. Every song is a great on in its own way. Track 7 is a Dixie Dregs reunion of sorts with all original Dregs members assembled to resurrect Leprechaun Promenade and give it a fresh recording.
