I just received a copy of the newest release,
Them Menz, by
Dalannah Gail Bowen. The release opens with a swinging blues track, the title track,
Them Menz. A force in the Canadian Canadian music scene this track moves and hot guitar riffs by Harris Van Berkel are hot.
Loved By That Woman has a bit of a Latin rhythm fed by Chris Nordquist on drums and Jim Salmon on percussion.Vocal harmonies on this track are particularly interesting.
Timin' comes off with a light funk and Bowen uses a natural sense of syncopation to add that special something. Michael Creber plays tight piano lead on this track and Steve Dawson lays down some cool guitar riffs.
You're Not There brings it down and smokey with (listen hard) Pink Floyd/Hiwatt like guitar intro. Bowen belts out a ballad and ethereal guitar riffs by Dawson swirl around cool drum rhythms and the best track on the release.
Who's Foolin' Who is an uptempo track and a lot more of an airplay hoo. Backing vocals are prominent and Nordquist and Creber trade off the spot light with Dawson who plays some smooth slide riffs.
Just For Today, has a early R&B sound which is really quite effective. This driving transitional track has a nice swing to it and David Say adds his sax mastery to the mix.
Just Don't Like The Deal is a cool neo soul track. Van Berkel rips off a pretty cool guitar solo on this track and Creber adds some Hammond work that makes the mix all that more tasty.
This is an interesting recording for someone looking for a little funk, a little blues, a little R&B and a little soul. It's very enjoyable to listen to and guitar guys like be have a few cool riffs to latch on to.
