I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Bulldog, from The CD Woodbury Tri, and it's a solid blues rocker. Opening with Wicked Grin, CD Woodbury sets the pacd with a strong hammer on riff with Robert Baker thumping a single not bass line and Bill Ray on drums. Woodbury tells the story on lead vocals adds in guitar soloing that adds just the right amount of pepper. Solid opener. Doc Pomus' Little Sister stays simple with it's pop roots with Woodbury laying down a guitar riff and including Davis soloing on harmonica. Blues rocker, Gaslight Road, has a deep bass/drums groove and Woodbury, on guitar, creates a Green's Fleetwood Mac feel adding gritty vocals. Very cool. One of my favorite tracks by Jack Bruce, Politician, is up next with Woodbury bringing on the suspenseful melody on guitar. He doesn't have Bruce's voice, but he really does a great job on this track Overdubbing clean chords with eccentric slide riffs and tight picked blues riffs. Super. A laid back cover of Willie Dixon's, Spoonful, works really nicely with Woodbury's voice. His laid back guitar approach, paired with Mike Marinig on flute and his own guitar flair with "Kim Simmonds" like accents really is nice. Wrapping the release is title track (Call Me The) Bulldog with it's funky blues rocking feel. Woodbury cuts loose with a cool, funky guitar riff on this one making it a strong closer.
