This is the band's 3rd CD, the first with New Drummer Jeff Van Clief. We are very proud of it. Here's what the critics say:
FAT VINNY & THE WISEGUYS - TIGHT PLAY (no label) On their third studio album, Tight Play, Altoona-based blues trio Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys continue their exploration of blues-rooted sounds, this time loosely centered around the metaphorical theme of card games and poker. Singer/guitarist E. Vincent "Fat Vinny" Kelly, bassist Randy Ketner and drummer "Dutch" Jeff Van Clief again use blues as their launching pad to explore different styles and sounds over the album's thirteen card-faced tracks (plus two bonus tracks; 'jokers,' as described in the liner notes). These various blues-based explorations serve as the foundation for colorful lyrical storylines dealing with the poker game of life, wheeling and dealing with the opposite sex, bars, the road and more. The album starts off with the surf-flavored "Bad Men On The Run," highlighted by guest Denny Owens' wailing harmonica accompaniment
