I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Just Stay Live Recorded Live At The Falcon by The Alexis P Suter Band, and it's terrific! Alexis P. Suter is one of those vocalists that come along once in a lifetime and her take on Blind Willie Johnson's John The Revelator is powerful .With her deep rich vocals backed by Vicki Bell, and pushed by the stirring slide work of Jimmy Bennett, this track is off the hook. Joining Suter on the set is The Band's Garth Hudson who lays out an epic piano improvisation. One of Gregg Allman's best tracks, It's Not My Cross To Bear, really works nicely with this set. Suter's deep, rich voice is perfect for this track with Benny Harrison on organ and Bennett really laying down the blues on guitar and Hudson on piano. A monumental blues by a monumental vocalist. Hole That I'm In has a super Latin rhythm and the band is really moving. Bennett gets a Santana-esque guitar solo going and Harrison's organ pushes up the tension. Very powerful. Only I has a soulful, gospel delivery showcasing Suter vocals with Linda Pino and Vicki Bell on lush backing vocals and Harrison on keys. Super strong. Wrapping the release is George Harrison's Isn't It A Pity. Harrison outdid himself on this track and Suter sings soulfully joined by Bennett on guitar, Hudson on accordion and piano, Bennett on bass, Grappone on drums and Bell on backing vocals. This is an excellent closer for an outstanding release.
