I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release,
On A Roll, from
Mark Cameron and it's a flavorful slice of contemporary blues rock. Opening with
Trouble Brewin' an upbeat shuffle, Cameron on lead vocal and guitar, leads the way with Rick Miller on harp, Scott Lundberg on bass, Dan Schroeder on drums and Sheri Cameron on woodwinds. Title track,
On A Roll is a solid rocker with definite radio appeal. I like Cameron's guitar phrasing and the trim beat of this track.
Dicey is one of my favorite tracks on the release with a walking bass line and suspenseful feel. With it spoken lead vocal and cool backing vocals by Rick and Scott, topped by the reverb saturated guitar...very cool. A strong bass line by Lundberg and punchy horn work by Sheri really
Next Stop Is The Blues off nicely. Another lively blues rocker,
Movin Out has a great driving rhythm with real nice harp work by Miller and simple but tight guitar work by Cameron.
Mojo Shuffle is another real nice track with a cool shuffle framework and nice bluesy guitar solo by Mark and a tight bottom. Wrapping the release is
Dreams, a laid back ballad featuring mark up front on vocal over a lightly salted backing. With warm sax work by Sheri and firm bass work by Scott, this is a cool closer for a solid release.
