I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Latchford, by Andre' Bisson and it's quite good. Opening with title track, Latchford, Andre' Bisson on lead vocal and guitar really shows his craft. With a nicely written melody, excellent vocals and with Jesse O'Brien on keys, Mike Rowell on bass and Keagan Early on drums, this is a solid entry. Sassy sax work by Pat Carey, Shawn Moody on trumpet, Loretta Hale on trumpet, Rob Somerville on trombone really give the track depth. Echo Mountain has a rockier feel with a dash of funk by Bisson's rhythm guitar work, reinforced by Carey on sax and O'Brien on organ. R&B flavored, Smile Time, really shows commercial appeal with a happy melody, solid vocals, upbeat tempo and solid sax work by Carey. Funky rocker, Sticks and Stones, is anchored by Carey on bari sax and O'Brien on piano. Bisson on vocal does a really nice job to carry the melody and throws down a pretty cool guitar solo of his own with punchy horn backing. Very cool. Wrapping the release is rocker, The Bring Down with it's pumping rhythm and full horns. O'Brien really hits in on piano and Bisson does a great job on vocals to close out this set. Very nice.
