I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Nasty Crime, from Alex Lopez and it's a solid blues rocker. Opening with rocker, World on Fire, Kana Leimbach leads the way with a firm drum rhythm, joined by Kenny Hoye on keys. Lopez handles lead vocal and places a grinding guitar riff over the bass lines of Steve Roberts. Lopez's melodic lead and slide guitar give the track a full attack over the relentless attack by Leimbach. With a swing, Lopez delivers easy blues ballad, When The Sun Goes Down, with soulful vocals over a cool piano riff. A melodic guitar solo by Lopez and a memorable melody, makes this track a solid radio contender. Title track, Nasty Crime, is a straight up rocker with a funky back beat. With jangly guitar work by Lopez and John Lord like organ work by Hove over a snappy beat, this is one of my favorite tracks on the release. Driving rocker, No Way, shows how tight the band can be. With a solid melody and strong vocal attack this is another solid radio entry. Wrapping the release is That's Alright with it's bluesy feel and nod to Billy Gibbons. Lopez lays out some real nice guitar work here with clean blues phrasing over rhythm guitar and organ baking this a solid closer.
