Although the acoustic blues duo of
Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan can often be entertaining with their particular brand of wry-humored blues, on
Too Much Fun their antics are...well, too much. Instead of appearing to the listener as the accomplished musicians and music business veterans that they are, songs such as "Chicken Ala King" and "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" make the duo come off as a couple of juvenile drunks at a local bar. As on any Ball & Sultan album, there are moments, the instrumental "American Medley" being one of them, but overall the album is more slapstick than substance. ~ Steve Kurutz
