Style : Blues
Rate (1-5) :
Kimon & The Prophets developed their own melodic blend of blues, funk and seventies rock and get away with this all selling it off as being Blues! Interesting for sure if you know that they blend Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, don Henley and Nick Lowe with a bunch of their own recordings onto their new album Roadhouse Party.
A musical homecoming for all members of the band who have played in various bands over the years and finally found back their roots in this magical blend. Sure some tunes like David Bowies' Heroes sound a little out of style on this album, but on the other hand, don Henley's Boys of summer truly fits on this Cd. The majority of the tunes are 100% blues and range from rocking blues toward ballads and funky jump blues. Special notices goes out to “A Letter from Oceanside”, “Time To Move On” and “Supply and Demand”. Also worth to stop by are some great renditions of “The Boys Of summer”, “Fire” and “Peace Love and Understanding”
Despite the name of the album, Roadhouse blues is not a typical Party Album, but certainly an album for the road! With great guitar licks, long solo's and above all fine blues tunes!
Additional with the Cd comes a DVD with a handful of extra music clips on it. The Excellent “Roadhouse Party”, the aforementioned “Supply and Demand”, “You Beautiful Ting, you” and “Dues: Paid”,. Also on this DVD are some acoustic performances + more extra stuff.
Mr Blue Boogie.
