I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Kingdom, from Amanda Fish and I really like it! Opening with Mockingbird, a cool blues rocker, Amanda Fish on vocal and guitar gets this thing moving with solid vocals and a hot rhythm by Terry Midkiff on guitar and slide and Paul Niehaus IV on bass and guitar lays in a real nice guitar solo of his own joined by Billie Baumann on percussion, Glen James on drums and Mama Moo on backing vocals. Excellent opener. With a twist of R&B, The Hard Way is a cool radio track with a great melody and tight vocal harmonies between Fish and MM. One of my favorite tracks on the release is Country flavored, Broke Ass Blues with Dylan Farrell on guitar and Niehaus on bass. Really potent slide work by Midkiff and soulful vocals by Fish give this track just the right edge. Another favorite track is Work, featuring Richard Rosenblatt on harmonica. His riffs and tone play perfectly on this track really complimenting Fish's powerful vocals and electrifying guitar riffs by Midkiff give this track a high octane punch. Excellent! Wrapping the release is R&B infused blues title track, Kingdom, with Dylan Farrell laying out some terrific lead guitar, Neihaus on bass, Dom Knott on sax, and James on drums make this a killer closer.
