Guitar One Records artist: John Brennan - One Way Ride - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, One Way Ride, from John Brennan, and it's a real nice set of blues rockers. Opening with Nothin' To Lose, John Brennan on vocal, slide and drums sets a solid blues foundation. With it's traditional sound and, electrified hollow body slide sound and solid vocals, Brennan shows a purity that I rarely hear on contemporary blues releases. On Elmore James', Shake Your Money Maker, I think the track sounds spontaneous along the lines of Hound Dog Taylor. A great cut and hot slide. On Robert Johnson's shuffle Ramblin' On My Mind, Brennan's vocals are highlighted with solid slide, balancing with acoustic rhythm guitar. Very nice. Wrapping the release is Where'd You Stay last Night, a vibrant rocker with a late 50's/early 60's sound. Stripped down with basic guitar, drum and vocal, this track rocks. Slipping in with some real nice lead/slide guitar and a rockabilly feel, this is an excellent closer.

Overton Music artist: Tomislav Goluban with Crooked Eye Tommy - Nashville Road - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Nashville Road, from Tomislav Goluban with Crooked Eye Tommy and it's a solid blues rocker. Opening with Hard Run, Tomislav Goluban on harmonica leads the way with an aggressive rock rhythm by Tommy Marsh on guitar, Eric Robert on keys, Jasco Duende on guitar, Doug Seibert on bass, and Alphonso Wesby on drums. Super opener.  Boogie rocker, Bad Choices Make Good Stories is a deep track with a thumping rhythm by Seibert and Wesby, super lead vocals and guitar by Marsh and signature harmonica lead by Goluban. Hip Hop Shake is another driving boogie with critical bass line by Seibert, dueling lead between Goluban, Robert and Marsh. Super track. I really like the rhythm on Keep On Movin On with its  lightly funky beat. Wrapping the release is laid back, There Is A Train featuring Marsh on vocal and guitars, and Goluban wailing train on harmonica and Marsh on steel. This is a real nice release from two talented guys.
