I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Canboro Canborough, by Davis Hall & The Green Lanterns and I really like their sound. Opening with Carrottown, a funky rocker with Jim Casson laying down a tight funky bottom with N. Jay Burr on tuba augmenting the bottom. Wayne De Adder on guitar adds a cool guitar rhythm and Mike Branton on slide guitar really adds the spice. Mark Lalama on piano and Casson on vocal blend nicely making this a terrific opener. Daincity is another cool rocker but with a New Orleans kind of flare. I like Burr's percussive work on tuba and Casson, Lalama and De Adder really work gathering great intensity on this track. Bluesy, The Comfort In The North, has a real nice melody, carried by DeAdder on guitar. With it's deep, bluesy feel, and expressive phrasing, this in one of my favorites on the release. Another New Orleans flavored track, Silverdale, rides on the backs of Burr and Casson and nicely showcases the slide work of Branton and the keyboard work of Casson. Wrapping the release is White Toyota, pairing Casson on drums and vocal with Burr on tuba. A cool little quip and a solid closer.
