Zac Harmon & The Drive - Live - New Release Review

Image
 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live , from Zac Harmon & The Drive and it's super! Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar. Terrific opener. Blue Pill Thrill has super movement and soulful vocals by Harmon. Lacy on keys works the rhythm with Robinson and Iglehart and Livingston and and Harmon play stinging riffs on guitar really giving this track some kick. Deep blues track, Feet Back On The Ground features Albert King like stinging riffs and super soulful vocals by Harmon. Keeping the music floor low allows Harmon plenty of space to go dynamically from soft to wow quickly adding real emotion to the track. Excellent!

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.

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, A Night In Copenhagen , by Peach and the Almost Blues Band and it's cool. Opening with a great Bob Dylan track, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You , the band uses an arrangement very similar to Jeff Becks arrangement which I like quite well. Opening with a warm harp intro by Ken Strange, Peach on vocal and guitar is joined by Michael Engman Ronnow on guitar, Helge Solberg on bass, Niclas Campagnol on drums and Strange on keys. Country rocker, Never Make Your Move Too Soon , has the strut of Bob Seeger with Campagnol and Strange setting the pace. Shuffle track, Little By Little , has a cool roll. Peaches' vocals are spot on and Ronnow's guitar sowk sets the track off nicely. Rocker, Love-itis , has a super beat and tight rhythm.

PEACH AND THE ALMOST BLUES BAND RELEASE NEW ALBUM "A NIGHT IN COPENHAGEN"        Peach and the Almost Blues Band announce the release of their new album "A Night In Copenhagen" (Magic Music).      During February of 2016 American blues singer and guitarist Peach Reasoner returned to Copenhagen to play with her band at her favorite club, the cozy Café Bartof.

Ken Stange had played with PEACH for many years in her Los Angeles band. Ken plays piano, organ and harp. The result of the live recording is called "A Night in Copenhagen". Du...
