"Solomon King's new release
"Train" is the sign of an artist on his way up. This is his best music so
far--with great singing, strong songwriting, and a selfless maturity--and yet I
sense even bigger things ahead. reminds me of early Dire Straits or The Band
circa "Music From Big Pink," great music following an artistic vision all in
service of each individual song."
SUNDAY NIGHT BLUES PROJECT
The 2009 Grammy Awards entrant nominee was recently in the news
for "The Phil Spector Incident," King's clever movie remake of the high-profile Phil
Spector trial that also includes a ten-song companion soundtrack ("Live On") with a
stripped-down, sensuous version of Spector's Wall of Sound classic, "Be My
Baby." "With King, the blues are in good hands," writes Ashley Jude Collie of
The Huffington Post.
"His New-School Blues' includes some modern riffs on traditional blues, and
beyond." BMans Blues Report
states, "King's track 'Suicide' features
hot guitar riffs that will blow your hair
back."
In a review of King's new album, Train, John Vermilyea of Blues Underground states, "after listening to Train I must once again put his music into a category for which the term brilliant is first and foremost...packed with truly great tunes from beginning to end. A really great album from one of the better singers, songwriters, and guitarists
performing nowadays. Highly recommended and
thoroughly enjoyed."
