I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Looking For A Change, from Alex Lopez and it's a cool blues based rocker. Opening with Train, a classic style rocker with a tight snare reinforced beat. Overtones of Led Zep permeate the track with lead vocals and guitar by Alex Lopez, bass by Steve Roberts and Kana Leimbach on drums. Solid opener. Driving rocker, Blues They Rock, has a strong feel and a great hook. Solid vocal phrasing and Page style guitar lead gives this track a great spark. Night Closing In is a smooth bluesy ballad with a nice melody. Lopez steps up with a real nice solo on this one giving the release a real crescendo. Wrapping the release is Jack Bruce's Politician, one of the classic blues rock tracks of all time and really hit hard by Mountain and Cream. Lopez does does a real nice job on vocal and delivers on guitar with stinging guitar riffs over a firm bottom by Roberts and Leimbach.
