💿 ALBUM REVIEW: Leigh Pilzer - Keep Holding On

Image
Get ready to groove with Dr. Leigh Pilzer , the Washington, D.C. baritone sax powerhouse who proves that jazz is meant to be a living, breathing party, not a dusty museum piece. Described as a pure force of nature with a gruff, punchy, and assertive sound, Leigh brings a heavy dose of soulful grit to the stage. She has traded licks with the legendary Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and even arranged horns for local legends like Chuck Brown and Eva Cassidy , and now she is bringing that deep, soulful swagger front and center with her vibrant new album, Keep Holding On. This record is a masterclass in pure, undeniable groove, packed with plenty of attitude, low-end bark, and raw energy that blues fans will instantly appreciate. Keep Holding On strikes the perfect balance between paying respect to the jazz heritage and absolutely cutting loose, making it an essential, high-energy addition to your playlist.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Keep Holding On by Leigh ...

Think Like A Key Music artist: The Burrito Brothers - The Magic Time Machine Of Love - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Magic Time Machine of Love, by The Burrito Brothers, and it's full of solid of good music. Opening with Procol Harem's Whiter Shade Of Pale, Chris P Jones leads the way on vocal and keys, accompanied by Steve Allen on guitars, Peter Young on drums, and featuring Tony Paoletta on pedal steel, with Sherrie James and Terrie Lonow on backing vocals. Bob Camp's Pride of Man is a solid driving track featuring Parsons and James on lead vocal with a wealth of pedal steel by Paoletta and tight drumming by Young. Flying Burritos' original, Used To Do, has a lot of the original spank with James with David James on lead vocal, and Fred James on guitars and Jim Baker on pedal steel, Ian Dunlop on bass and Jody Maphis on drums. Very nice. A Burritos mix on The Beatles' What Goes On which really is some great harmony work by the James'. With Fontana on drums ,and Paoletta on pedal steel this is one of my favorites on the release. Another favorite track on the release is Tales Of Desire with an almost Frank Black feel. James' vocals are dramatic and Paoletta, Allen and Young's instrumentation is perfect. Wrapping the release is Timothy Schmit's Right Where We Belong, a strong closer with real radio appeal. James vocals, blended with Peter Young on drums and vocals, Allen's guitars and especially Paoletto's pedal steel makes this an excellent closer.
