"Class Act" by Kasi Calvin is an emotional and raw mix of contemporary blues and rock tracks. Kasi's raspy vocal style, nicely complements his emotional, storyteller-type lyrics about his real life experiences. The CD gives a good variety of style and is versatile in lyrics and use of instruments. The guitar and vocal on "Ballad of Ms. Bates" gives a glimpse of forbidden love. The displaced message in "Too Tired To Drink" lets the listener touch the sadder side of life. There is a nice use of the cello and violin on the "Count To Three" that effectively complement Kasi's simple, sweet lyrics that give a contemporary look at love and family. If you enjoy emotional, raw singer-songwriter recordings, you'll enjoy this CD.
