 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Ain't Wasting Time , from Nicky T And The Snake Charmers and it's dripping blues, soul and R&B music. Opening with Magic Sam 's, That's All I Need , Nicky T with soulful vocals and groomed guitar riffs gets into that Impressions groove. With Todd Glass on drums, Alex Lyon on bass, Chris Codish on keys, and Greg Nagy on backing vocals, this is a solid opener. Rock n Roller, Feel Like A Hundred , features a driving guitar lead with vocals by Nicky and super piano work by Andy Szymanski on piano. Pete Berg on drums and Frank Greenhalgh round out the band and this track is really moving. Gritty blues, The Glass really gets down featuring guitarist extraordinaire, Ronnie Earl on lead guitar and excellent vocals by Greg Nagy. This tracks really sails with the addition of Jon Johnson on drums, Mike Marshall on bass, Jason Bone on rhythm guitar, John Gavin on piano and warm organ work by Szymanski. Excell...

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Cool Green Recordings artist: Hollis Brown - in the aftermath - New Release Review

-

 


I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, in the aftermath, from Hollis Brown and I certainly can't argue with the strength of the release. Based directly on one of the Rolling Stones best releases with an exact title lineup and even a similar cover, this is a cool release. Opening with one of the best tracks of all time (and my personal ringtone) Paint it Black, Mike Montali on lead vocal and guitar starts the magic, joined by Jonathan Bonilla on lead guitar and vocals, Andrew Zehnal on drums, Chris Urriola on bass and backing vocals and this release is humping right out of the box. Sensitive ballad, Lady Jane is as beautiful as ever with jangly guitar work over the melody and cool keyboard work by Michael Hesslein. Flight 505 is a great rocker with just the right hook and with a stiff drum riff and driving lead guitar over piano, one of the best executions on the release. High and Dry is one of those tracks that moves between rock, blues and country, accelerated by Daddy Long Legs on blues harp and foot drum. This track is basic, but I really like the presentation. Excellent! Wrapping the release is another bluesy country soaked track, Goin' Home, with it's easy shuffle feel and solid vocals. The slap snare, percussion, and harp support Montali's vocals nicely for a solid conclusion to a strong rocker.
