I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Fallen Angels, by Early Times & The High Rollers and it's a cool blues rocker. Opening with Walk Out On Me, Early Times on lead vocal, organ, guitar and percussion leads the way on this cool track with a distinct, early British blues sound. Joined by Jeremy Portwood on drums and Conrad Korsch on bass, this is a cool opener. Pop rocker, Bedroom Eyes, has a solid melody giving Early clear way to show his vocal styling and a great avenue to stretch on guitar as well. Solid. Slow ballad, Abandoned Child is one of my favorite tracks on the release with soulful vocals by Early who accompanies himself on organ and arpeggiated guitar, joined by Portwood and Korsch. Chriscell Eminizer on sax and Tim Ouimette on trumpet and flugelhorn really gives the track an authentic 60's sound. Another track with a real retro sound is Bad Things. A strong 60's rhythm and snare slap with Early on vocals and organ really sells it. This track really works with this formula being capitalized on by punk rockers as well. Wrapping the release is power rocker, Until The World Burns Down with it's straight forward rock beat reinforced by Eminizer and Ouimette. Portwood really holds everything together with his straight on drum attack and Early's vocals are tops. Fun finisher.
