They exhibit prowess and passion. They played REAL rock & roll. I then discovered Stuart Smith through another Purple-ite, Glenn Hughes. A few years ago, Richie Kotzen introduced me to Arlan Schierbaum. When I saw that Stuart and Arlan were going to be together on this cd, I immediately thought of the chemistry between Blackmore & Lord. I followed the developments as it was recorded. Great musicians all around....this was going to be good. I pre-ordered this with overnight shipping (which cost more than the cd!) because I just had to hear it. I tend to dissect and then dissect again, each song as I listen.....so I WON'T do a song by song here but.....this is very well done.....from the compositions to the recording to the packaging....NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE! If you like real rock & roll....WITH solos....then THIS IS FOR YOU! Buy it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Return to great songwriting and music production values. *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013* The band Heaven & Earth might be considered a "throwback" in musical terms - because the new CD "Dig" brings actual songs that are catchy while being heavy, great singing without heavy "pitch" processing and the ability to distinguish actual instruments (guitars and keys and drums and bass that sound exactly like they are supposed to). So for this listener - a fan of both classic rock and progressive rock - this band has produced a disc of very grown-up music that is fresh in it's writing but pays audio homage to the great mixing and production skills of last century's rock acts (think Queensryche with a touch of Deep Purple rock organ). Well worth adding it to your collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spared No Expense. *by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2013* Monologue-----There is no denying the Richie Blackmore influence when listening to the latest offering by Stuart Smith and his band of mates known as Heaven & Earth. If this was in fact Deep Purple or Rainbow, this release would be nestled perfectly between DP's Slaves & Masters and Rainbows' Stranger In Us All. That's not a bad place to be! As talented a guitarist as Stuart Smith is, and don't kid yourself this guy is a monster with a Stratocaster, the shinning star here is vocalist Joe Retta. He has a very unique voice, but as comparisons are necessary when doing reviews, one would not be out of place to suggest Paul Rogers with a hint of Doogie White. Joe comes straight from the band Sweet (or at least Steve Priest's version of Sweet) for whom he has fronted since 2008. In fact this CD has as much to do with Sweet as anything else since Stuart Smith and drummer Richie Onori are also alumni of Steve Priests' Sweet. Rounding out the band is multi-talented bassist Chuck Wright (Giuffria, Quiet Riot, House Of Lords) and keyboards extraordinaire Arlan Schierbaum (Joe Bonamassa, Richie Kotzen).1st Impressions.-----Judging a book by it's cover is never a good idea, but in this case ... the cover is spectacular. It's the perfect marriage for this release. While I am not a fan of digipak packaging (I'm a jewel case kind of guy) I have to say the overall presentation here is just perfect. The record label spared no expense. The booklet has all the lyrics, beautiful photography throughout and is printed on a low luster high grade stock. Very classy. I imagine the vinyl release of this is a sight to behold.The Music-----Opening notes swell from the speakers as mid-tempo rocker "Victorious" sets the pace for what's ahead. The song clocks in at a bit over 6 minutes but feels like 3 minutes as the twists and turns gets you excited for what's to come. A perfect way to open the album. Second song "No Money No Love" is everything you love (and miss) about the arena bands of the 70's like DP, Rainbow & Uriah Heep ... classy vocals, impeccable guitar being pushed by the sound of a Hammond Organ over a tight rhythm section. By now most people who follow this style of music has probably seen the high-stakes big-production video for this song, but make no mistake, the song stands on it's own. If the opening track was a home run (and it was) than this is a grand slam (and it is). Track Three slows down the tempo a bit and delivers a chilling song of a love lost. Again, the vocals is outstanding. The lead guitar break at the 4 minute mark is soulful with an accompanying string section that lifts Joe's performance to stratospheric heights. Personal favorites change each time I listen, but "Waiting For The End Of The World" is more than likely going to be my go-to track for this release. I find myself hitting the repeat button on this song already. I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but "A Day Like Today" is something special. It comes from left field (again with the baseball analogies and I'm a hockey fan) and it blows you away. Joe Retta's voice, and flute playing (!!!) is the centerpiece. The closing track, "Live As One", has a church hymn style chorus that just melts your heart.Epilogue-----This CD is a pleasure to listen to. Perfectly produced and mixed. Not harsh and brutal sounding as the majority of releases are these days. I'm not sure where the money or budget came from for this release, but as I mentioned about the packaging, it SOUNDS like no expense was spared. Song after song, listen after listen, the CD gets better and better. Not a single throw away in the bunch. Stuart Smith & Joe Retta has, after just 12 tracks, become my new favorite duo. Superior performance by both.Rating : 100/100. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/5720678-dig](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/5720678-dig) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
