I just had the opportunity to review the newest release, Bite of the Street, by Mac Gollehon & The Hispanic Mechanics and it's an entertaining cornucopia of sound. Opening with Souled Out, a Latin infused track with a driving bottom by Eric Klaastad on bass and Jeanne Carno on drums. Mac Gollehon on trumpet soars, blowing great flowing lead and Ismael Sanchez adding intense percussion. Solid opener. Title track, Bite Of The Street, has a funky, soulful feel with Latin overtones. With a powerful brass refrain the track slowly melds into a Spanish flavored tune with great movement and powerful lead. On funky, High Drama, the band drops back giving Gollehon plenty of space to play first muted, then open. This is my favorite track on the release with plenty of movement and exciting lead by Gollehon. Wrapping the release is Sleepwalker, a rapid fire jam with hot trumpet riffs and Ariel Lawler on backing vocals over hot drum and percussion bottom. Tight closer.
