Farm 189 Records artist: The Trevor B. Power Band - Are We Ever Free - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Are We Ever Free, from The Trevor B. Power Band, and it's a solid blues rocker with a pinch of country. Opening with Let Yourself Fly, Trevor B. Power kicks off his latest release with radio ready vocals and solid guitar, backed by Dave Fields on bass , Steve Holley on drums, Bob Lana on guitars, Tim Timko and Baron Raymonde on sax, and Will Wilde on harmonica. Solid opener. Mystery is a hot rocker with plenty of kick. Power on lead vocal and guitar sets the pace and an excellent back beat on drums and hot guitar lead by Bob Lanza gives this track a lot of appeal. Blues shuffle, Going To Washington is one of my favorite tracks on the release with that Elmore James vamp and a driving rhythm. Wilde's harmonica work on this track sets it apart and Fields on organ adds considerable depth. Heavy bottomed shuffle, Trouble To The Core, plays a cool call and response between Power's vocal and guitar. Sweaty guitar riffs and a pounding drum line make this another favorite on the release. Wrapping the release is rocker, Man Goes Blind with a tight rock rhythm and great vocals by power. Fields on piano and organ adds a lot of bite to this ricking closer.

Farm 189 Records artist: Trevor B. Power - What Is Real - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, What Is Real, from Trevor B. Power and it's a cool blend of blues, folk, rock and country. Opening with World Gone Madd, an upbeat blues rocker, Power on guitar vocal and guitar leads the way, backed by Anthony Krizan on drums, bass and guitar, Danielle Illario and Matt Migliorino on background vocal, John Ginty on B3 and Will Wilde on harmonica. Solid ballad, I'm Still In, has a strong melody and lead vocal by Power and with warm organ and tasty guitar accompaniment looking like the best radio track on the release. Easier Way has a conventional blues shuffle framework and cool slide work and harmonica accents by Power. Life Is Good is a straight up rocker with a forward drum beat and Chuck Berry bones. Rob Clores' addition of piano on this track really balances nicely with the lead guitar work by Power. Another ballad, I'm A Fool, has a quiet tempo and the feel of a gritty country western track with added steel guitar by Krizan and smooth backing vocals. Very nice. Wrapping the release is This Old Road a folky pop track with jangling acoustic guitars and a warm melody. This is a nice track and a solid closer.
