WELL LOADED BLUES/ROCK/AMERICANA BY A BAND FOR THE BIG STAGES

10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Americana, BLUES: Rockin' Blues



Details:
That Roadhouse songs are regularly played along with Allmans, Johnny Lang, Bonnie Raitt and
Etta James discs by DJs in the US,
and indeed worldwide, speaks volumesâ¦..

This music travels and it must be said that the âwheels on the busâ are the bandâs own compositions and their dynamic arrangements.

It has been clear from gigs during recent months that the songs new to the bandâs repertoire were something special!!..........Gary Boner, guitarist / singer, has already established a name for himself as a fine songwriter, but he has excelled himself this time! Gary is chief writer who tends towards (often epic) storytelling.

Boner is aided and abetted on the delivery of these tales by the pool of female vocalists who work with the band in the studio and live â Anne, Sue and Lorna. Most groups would be glad to have any one of these singers aboard and they are part of what makes Roadhouse a band to see live!! Add to this the storming and solid rhythm section and you have a powerhouse act who meet the demands of producing fine music and superb live performancesâ¦â¦

The atmosphere attained on their songs is a tribute to the players, witness Anne Campbellâs gorgeous reading of âBrooklyn Bluesâ. âLost Along The Wayâ has echoes of Trafficâs âPearly Queenâ; the chorusâd guitar of âSlip Awayâ will stay with you like a small stone in your shoe.
Jules Fothergillâs love of Derek Trucksâ slide style has contributed to his own skipping fluidity. Every track seems to kick off with such confidence that you would think these numbers had been played for decades.
âLost In Painâ has Jefferson Airplane hanging chordal stabs and a characteristic joint vocal and is one of the best tracks on this release; that âCouldnât Get To Sleepâ was worth revisiting is beyond doubt and again its edgy tension is warmed by a unison vocal chorus and an empathetic rhythmic base. If LZepâs âBattle of..â ever did it for you, try this.

The whole CD is a wonderful and varied collection of songs played to the highest standard by a group of fine musicians. It deserves to take the band on to a higher levelâ¦â¦
