"Overall, First Class Life shows us that Mike Zito sure is proficient at playing the Blues (with a whole lot of Rock influence) in many moods and styles (his previous album Make Blues Not War was heavier on the Rock side of things). Zito's song writing capabilities in particular have heavily developed over the years, and we can tell from this album. At 48 and on his 15th album; singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Zito shows no stopping with this latest release First Class Life, which is easily one of his best yet".
