Five tracks, one being a remix of the opening track, is what's on offer from Sweet James and their 'Multitrack Drifting' EP. 

Kicking off with 'Better For The Crime' and its smooth slide that's equal amounts of Led Zep and some bad mofo smouldering Black Crowes type of vibe going down with a decent build up to the chorus and a decent outro as well, in a old school UFO style.  Track two is a walk on the Stones side of the road with a rhythm that has more than a nod towards 'Sympathy For The Devil' with some decent vocal harmonies going on. 

Highlight of the EP is track three by a country mile and 'The Wanderer' has a great arrangement and great use of the gob iron with a dirty stomping riff but, like the other songs, could do with a good production and mix which would possibly give this EP another 10%......but hey, there is enough quality in the music to make these boys worth a visit in 2011 when they should get out a full length release. 

Plenty of variety in this EP that makes Sweet James engaging and interesting - would definitely like to hear some more.
