Polly O'Keary and the Rhythm Method - Black Crow Callin' - New Release Review
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Black Crow Callin' , from Polly O'Keary and the Rhythm Method and it's a serious blues rocker. Opening with Hard Hearted World , Polly O'Keary attacks on vocal and bass with a take no prisoners drive. Backed by Tommy Cook on drums and with punishing guitar riffs by David Miller and solid piano work by Eric Robert, this is a great opener. Red Light is another driving rocker with a thumping bass line and scorching hot guitar riffs. Slow blues number, Black Crow Callin' shows a more sensitive side of O'Keary with rich vocals, and Jim McLaughlin on harp. Miller's blues guitar phrasing on this number are rich and fluid. Excellent! High stepper, Yours To Lose , is really pumped up by the Powerhouse Horns featuring Rich Cole on sax and Pete Kirkman on trumpet and the grinding guitar riffs of Miller. Very cool. Reconciled is a solid blues ballad that not only gives O'Keary a chance to belt one ...
