Hank Mobley - Thinking Of Home - Rock Music CD Review

Thinking Of Home is the latest release from Rock Artist Hank Mobley, and I can only think of one word to describe it… AWESOME!

Thinking Of Home will grab your attention right from the beginning with Suite: Thinking Of Home / The Flight / Home At Last and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Talk About Gittin', which is another great track by the way.

Thinking Of Home has a pleasantly varied, mix of Suite: Thinking Of Home / The Flight / Home At Last tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

I give Thinking Of Home my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - You Gotta Hit It, track 4 - Gayle's Groove, and track 2 - Justine

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Suite: Thinking Of Home / The Flight / Home At Last. Great track!
