I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, White Wolf, from Teskey and it's a solid blues based rocker. Opening with Under The Sun, Teskey hits hard with a potent guitar riff by Brandon Teskey who also leads the way on vocal and a stiff snare swat by Brandon Gaddy. Matt Baldwin on bass creates a driving urgency on bass and Peter Murphy adds melodic keyboard rounding out the track. Slow blues, Upside Down World, follows a basic 8 bar format with Teskey setting the melody on vocal and accompanying himself on guitar. A firm bottom by Gaddy and Baldwin gives him plenty of room to lay down contemporary guitar riffs falling back to the blues root. Lemon Tree is a cool acoustic track with Teskey laying down a basic blues bottom on acoustic guitar and singing and soloing over that showing fine dexterity. Shadow Side is a straight up rocker and my favorite track on the release. With a strong bottom and nicely blended vocals, this could be a good radio track. Wrapping the release is ballad, Make The World Sing, with a solid melody and powerful approach. Teskey on vocal is firmly backed by Murphy on vocal and keys and his own guitar accompaniment over the solid bottom by Gaddy and Baldwin make this a strong closer.
