Rainstorm Records artist: Leeann Atherton - Good God - New Release Review
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Good God , from Leeann Atherton and it's gospel/revival soaked music. Opening with Lieber and Stoller's Saved , Leeann Atherton really belts it out on this opener. With Johnny "V" Vernazza (Elvin Bishop Band) winding it up on slide guitar, Edward "Hott" Cleveland, Rob Lamonica and Bob Berman on keys, and Mike Bernhan on bass. Atherton original track, Joy , has a real bopping feel with Rob Lamonica on piano and solid backing vocals by Austin Atherton, Johnny V, Laura Jane Wilcox and HeartBeat Pro. Joe South's classic, Games People Play , really plays to the richness of Atherton with nice guitar work by Mac McNabb and warm organ work by Berman. Harry Dixon Loes' This Little Light Of Mine has new spunk with Atherton really swinging it. Solid rhythm guitar by McNabb, and warm organ and hot guitar riffs by Johnny V make this a real nice cover. Another Atherton original, Smack Dab In A Mirac...
