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.

Cold Plunge Records artist: Rick Roe - Wake Up Call - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Wake Up Call, from Rick Rowe and it's a solid jam. Opening with shuffle, Inside Straight, Rick Roe on piano, Robert Hurst on bass and Nate Winn on drums set a solid footing and Marcus Elliot outlines a super melody. Roe steps up on piano stretching the concept nicely and Hurst plucks an exceptional solo on his own. I love Winn's drumming adding that perfect snap to an already super opener. The Return of Mr. Pea is a cool track with a super rhythm. Elliot and Roe lay out the melody and Elliot takes the concept for a ride, handing it off to Roe who really lays it out. A driving line by Hurst and Winn make this one of my favorites on the release.  Latin flavored, La Cancion has a really nice groove featuring Elliot on soprano sax and Roe on piano. Hurst plays another inspired bass solo and Winn on drums really takes the track to another level. The Ringer is another terrific track with my favorite Roe piano showcase on the release. Another solo by Hurst on bass makes this percussive duo really shine. Wrapping the release is Double Play, a final cool shuffle featuring a super bowed bass solo by Hurst, Roe really digging in on piano and Elliot wrapping it up. Cool release.
