Bman's Blues Report

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Double Exposure , from Vinnie Moore and it's a solid rocker with blues roots. Opening with Vertical Horizon , guitar man, Vinnie Moore wastes no time getting things hopping with a lightly funky rocker and a very aggressive bass line by Pete Griffin. Richie Monica on drums really mixes it up and with lead vocals by Ed Terry, Moore just keeps his foot on the throttle. Super opener. Paid My Dues is another strong track with a heavy bottom by Monica and Griffin and scorching riffs by Moore. Keith Slack on vocal is a great match for this band making this one of my favorites on the release. Instrumental, Astro Man is a power hitter with choice use of wah wah pedal and hot fiery riffs by Moore over the relentless drive of Griffin and Monica. Another pure guitar instrumental, Breaking Through , features Moore on what may be a chorus pedal playing doubled or triples on the melody but breaking free  for strong single line...
