Bman's Blues Report

I just received the newest release, The Back On Track Recording Project , from Jordan Patterson and it has super polish and presence. Opening with Favourite Boy , a foot stompin rocker, Patterson picks up where he left off on his EP of 2014. With the thumping bass of Mark McIntyre, and the rowdy guitar work of Darryl Romphf and Bobby Thompson Patterson on lead vocal and harp lays down a solid track. With the easy feel of Eric Clapton on 461, ballad, Can We Fall In Love Again , sets itself up as a major radio player. Skyler Jordan adds really nice backing vocals on the track nicely balancing Patterson's soulful lead. Tasty guitar riffs over tight drum work by Benjamin Rollo and Scott Galloway on keys. Very nice. Shuffle track, She's Cool , opens with a cool harp intro and with a driving monotone bass rhythm... this track could be from Texas. Patterson is a seasoned lead vocalist and his call/response with Romphf gives the track nice edge. Patterson takes a nice modern blues...

Opening with hard driving blues rocker, Play My Song , features solid vocals from Patterson and a tight rocking unit behind him. Darryl Romphf (guitar), Shawn Kellerman (guitar), Darius McKinley (bass) and Benjamin Rollo (drums) provide a really powerful backing for Patterson's vocal and harmonica work. Don't Take Me Down is a rolling rocker and the more I listen to this band the more I appreciate the tight drumming of Rollo. He is not only on top of it, he's all over it. Excellent! With a driving ZZ Top kind of feel but with more polish (and might I say a lot more interesting than their pop stuff) this band hits the road running hard. If You'd Help Me Please gets down in the mud with a solid blues number showing hot guitar riffs and slide. With traces of Foghat and a bit of grit, this is one of my favorite tracks on the release.
