I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Side Hustle, from One Dime Band, and it's a cool R&B/blues release. Opening with title track, Side Hustle, Paul Gallucci on lead vocal and John Brauchler on guitars lead the way with Romen Dubois on drums laying down a tight rhythm and a poppy bass line by Paul Kochananski driving the beat. Cool opener. With a mix of blues and folk on What You Done?, Gallucci on vocal and slide guitar has the floor. A cool ballad, with Tim Curry backing on vocal, a cool bass line by Kochanski and accordion by Alizon Lissance, a cool track. Dr. Shine is one of my favorite tracks on the release with a solid melody, strong vocals and harmonica by Gallucci. Driving rocker, Backbell has a terrific beat and with Lissance on piano and a cool sax solo by Mario Perrett, a top radio contender giving Brauchier a little stretching room on guitar. Another solid track is blues rocker, Babylon Clouds, with it's bluesy bass line, and excellent harp work by Gallucci. Soul jam, Rib Grease, has a strong groove with Dubois and Kochanski laying down the bottom and cool soloing by Brauchier, Johnny Blue Horn on trumpet, Perrett on sax and Lissance on piano. Wrapping the release is a solid shuffle, Gator In My Pond, built on the solid bass line by Kochanski, Dubios on drums, and Lissance on piano. Gallucci on vocal and harmonica really shine on this track with some really nice guitar riffs by Brauchler to close the set.
