Toby and the Tremors' third album kicks in with "One Little Promise," a melodic rocker with a positive vibe to hold on to the one you love. The title track, "Blond Alibi" follows with a haunting tale of a man on the run from the law for a crime he didn't commit (or did he?) "Hidin' Their Tears" is a message song that asks parents to think about their children before breaking up. Stik's guitar work and Toby's soulful vocals make this song a winner. "Country School Road" recalls a lost place in time. "Cold Hearted Man" is a bluesy uptempo song in the Robert Cray vein. "Memphis Rescue" recalls some of the great music and singers from the 'Memphis Sound' of decades back. "Someday," a soulful ballad and party rocker "Shake That Stuff" round out the disc to a great finish!

Continuing the band's creative musical journey, the group has released their second album: HOTEL BLUE. The album kicks in with the title track's haunting melody and lyrics. Other stand-out tracks include "LETTER FROM LONDON" with its "Stones-like" bass line, and "MR. NOBODY" which has the makings of becoming a blues classic. Another track, written by Toby and Kevin Lee is "THESE LETTERS," which captures the loneliness of our troops in a distant land and the importance of receiving cherished mail from home. Also, there is a revved-up version of Robert Parker's "BAREFOOTIN'" with Stik's smokin' guitar and Toby's raw vocals.
