I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, I Don't Like What's Going On, from Peter Roland and it's a cool contemporary blue release. Opening with Black Cat Bone, Peter Roland wastes no time showing that he can work the fretboard hard. A smooth, slow blues number with only George Caldwell on bass and Jermane Dukes on drums. Midway, the track doubles pace and with JP Soars really smokes it. Very nice. Evil pairs Roland again with strong vocal with Soars on dobro and a stiff foot drum by Dukes setting up a country flavored blues rocker with the swagger of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Trading lead with soars on electric guitar, Roland keeps it clean and articulate. Really grinding in with SRV like rhythm and tempo on Lonely Tonight, Roland's lead guitar work is vibrant and tight. This band is a tight unit with Roland's vocal and guitar cementing it all together. Wrapping the release is title track and my personal favorite on the release, I Don't Like What's Going On, a laid back, lightly funky, blues track. Roland sings against the beat and keeps his guitar lead in the pocket. It's cool delivery and fiery guitar soloing works well together, making for a really nice closer.
