Let There Be Drums/Drums Are My Beat Music Lover: from Oklahoma -- January, 19, 2008

This has an irresistible rhythm, especially on the tracks written by Sandy and R. Podilar, including the album title songs. Some have such a driving power to them, they remind one of the chugging of an old-fashioned steam train engine. I listen to it a lot, and it never fails to be uplifting.
