FGR (Funken' Grooven' Rocken') Soul Kiss	3:01 2,850k file 128k mp3	Man, I’d love to close a show with this rockin’ soul beauty. Where’d Troy’s drum solo come from and how did he come back on time? Double keyboards, Chris Feliciani on piano, Bill Hubauer on Hammond …. And who’s that cat on guitar and slide guitar? Oh, it’s me.
Mighty Love Soul Kiss	2:00 1,830k file 128k mp3	Too funky! Killer horns, infectious funk beat and so much more. This is Tom's anthem as he marches into the valley of love... down to the valley! Yolanda Barber and Danni Vasser, former House of Soul singers, really steal the show with their back-up vocals.
Someone Get Me Out of Here Soul Kiss	1:12 1,090k file 128k mp3	Tom takes us back to his days of playing dive bars and dealing with drunk patrons and the 10 pm to 2 am world. Dave Hanner sings backup.

Workin' the Hoot Owl Soul Kiss	1:24 1,280k file 128k mp3	Another catchy instrumental with plenty of horns and guitars. Features some very tasty slide guitar work by Tom. Producer/writer Dave Hanner of the Corbin-Hanner Band called this tune “an American classic”. Workin’ the hoot owl means working the all-night shift.
Any Port in a Storm Love Is King	2:31 2,310k file 128k mp3	Humorous story of a sleazy pick-up artist Tom observed at The Rattlesnake Inn. “Like a cold hearted reptile, the snake had his way – then he crawled to his car and he slithered away.” Perfect ending!
The Hunger Love Is King	2:28 2,260k file 128k mp3	“She walk the street, she look so good. He drive on by, he wish he could. He flash the cash – they jump in the back. Tonight somebody have a heart attack.” ‘Nuff said. Great back-up vocals by Nancy Eagan, Shirley Dragovich and Pete Morely. Hot sax by Don Aliquo, Jr. former Billy Price and Keystone Rhythm Band Ace.
Désodorisant Love Is King	1:24 1,280k file 128k mp3	“Mr. Hanner called one night and wanted to know the French word for deodorant – he was brainstorming for a commercial. I phoned my old high school French teacher who said ‘Désodorisant’ was a close approximation (it means the odor rising). The changes and melody jumped out of my head. I saved the bridge for Mr. Hanner. Sounds very Booker T-ish to my ears.” Check Bill Hubauer’s Hammond work at the end of the song.
Careless Love Love Is King	1:46 1,610k file 128k mp3	Very catchy song, could still be a hit for the right pop-rock singer. Has a strong Rundgren-Pop/Hall & Oates feel. Great back-up vocals by the Corbin-Hanner Band singers: Al Snyder, Curt Erickson and Dave Hanner.
Little Gem Love Is King	:54 845k file 128k mp3	A song with a country feel, though it would not fit the early or current Nashville sound. But a good song is a good song….. Nice 12-string Rickenbacker and Telecaster solo. Good back-up vocals by Pete Morley, Dave Hanner and Tom.
Love Is King Love Is King	2:43 2,490k file 128k mp3	Rock and roll with Chris Feliciani on piano and Bill Hubauer on Hammond organ – what a team. Soulful back-up vocals by Toni Turner (a Gospel singer) and Nancy Egan. Very clever and witty lyrics, moving on up from skirt chasing to love.
Personal Asylum Love Is King	2:23 2,295k file 128k mp3	A strong piece of rock writing and arranging. I was about 30 when I wrote this song; I’m 57 now. Interesting (lyrically) to see that I often still think the same way; “Looking for order, try to make sense of this lifetime – what are all these years about?” Sounds familiar….
Poetic Justice For A Lifetime	2:26 2,340k file 128k mp3	Tom kicks off this album with a bang! A 3 piece horn section, Eddie Kistler, Mike Karwowski and Don Aliquo, Jr. and 5 background vocalists, Dave Freeland, Dave Hanner, Don Marsiko, Shari Richards, & Tommy D really give this song a thick, slick sound!
Movin'! For A Lifetime	2:54 2,780k file 128k mp3	A trip into the mind of a truck drivin' man. A fast-paced, country-rock flavored song that really conveys the hectic life of a trucker. Dave Hanner and Laurie Struthers sing backup on this one!
Wild Boy For A Lifetime	3:16 2,240k file 96k mp3	Tom takes you on a musical journey as vivid as a movie. Some incredibly creative keyboardwork by Bill Hubauer really sets the stage for this rock masterpiece. You really need to hear the whole song!
Maybe Next Time A View from the Grill	2:06 1,920k file 128k mp3	Pop rock – should have been some pop stars hit. How come publishers have such a hard time recognizing a good pop tune just because it isn’t presented by “the right voice?” Old and bitter? Perhaps!
Little One A View from the Grill	1:58 1,900k file 128k mp3	Catchy little Carribean influenced pop tune. Cecil and Carol Washington on percussion, clever back-up vocals by Dave Freeland, Carol Washington, Tommy D. and Dave Hanner.
I'm A Winner A View from the Grill	2:41 2,450k file 128k mp3	Not really, but I am persistent and relentless. As the old, legendary Pittsburgh Pirate broadcaster Bob Prince once described something he called “hidden vigorish”; “the more you win, the closer you get to losing” – or vice versa. But you gotta stay in the game.
