Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flye on ‘Five long years’. Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flye’s debut, ‘The essential collection’, does not fit easily into one genre. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flye energies, virtually a rebirth. This is one of Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flye best albums
From the start to the finnish rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. This is probably my favorite song on the album. It ain’t right is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. This track is a great song that still never gets old. In P.S. I love you you won’t find any flashy solos. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Shot from the saddle because the melody in the chorus is so good. Sinister woman is excellent and different song. Somebody is absolutely incredible. I can’t stop humming along Take out some insurance. Talk to your daughter - To me, this is the best song on the The essential collection. The sound in Texas twister is really warm and Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flye’s signature voice is still very much present. Waitin’ on you baby is astounding.
