Hunters Records artist: JT Lauritsen - Play By The Rules - New Release Review
I just received the newest release, Play By The Rules , by JT Lauritsen . Opening with William Bell's Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday , Lauritsen lays down an extremely soulful track with essential keys by Paul Wagnberg; clean guitar soloing by Arnfinn Torrisen and Ian Fredrick Johannessen and super gospel like vocal backing from Atle Rakvag, Sven Zetterberg, Larry McCray and Kerry Clarke. Really strong. up next is original track Next Time , a New Orleans style track with jammin rhythm by Jon Grimsby on drums and Victor Wainwright on piano. Josh Roberts plays a cool guitar riff on this track and the vocal backing crew is again spot on. On Play By The Rules vocal duets between Lauritsen and Teresa James and Debbie Jamison are really nice but you also can't miss sizzling slide guitar work by Josh Roberts throughout. Nice job! On Big Walter's Need My Babe , Billy Gibson steps up on harp and pushes Lautitsen who sings lead and also plays harp into a really super Chicago sty...
