The Bluesland Horn Band - Six - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Six, from The Bluesland Horn Band, and it's a tight set of blues and gospel influenced tracks. Opening with My Old Truck, a cool shuffle Marty Cochrane on vocal, leads the way with Ross Hall on drums, Casey Ryder on bass, Jan Randle on piano, Terry Medd on dobro and guitar, David  Wilkie on mandolin and the horns of Miguelito Valdez and Doug Zacharias on trumpet, Barrie Sorenson on tenor sax, Armando Alvarez on bari sax, and Tim Keels on tuba. On Shuffle In The Attic Medd gets the spotlight and lays down some real nice guitar phrasing, backed by Hall on drums, Randle on organ, Valdez, Sorensen and Alvarez on horns. Very cool. Punchy, Rock My Roll had a real nice driving beat with Jack Lavin driving the train on bass. Cochrane's vocals are rugged and commanding and Jerry Cook on tenor sax and Terry Medd on guitar set the track apart. Slow blues, Holy Water, is definitely one of the best tracks on the release with excellent vocals by Cochrane. Gavin Sorochan on drums, Pan Sciore on bass, Miles Jackson on organ create great tension and Medd's guitar lead compliments it nicely of course with the envelope of Zacharias, John Reid and Paul Evans (on bari). Wrapping the release is So Long, Goodbye featuring Jack Lavin on vocal, bass and harp. Hall on drums, Medd on slide and Jackson on organ fill out the band. Lavin slides in a real nice harp solo and Medd a solid guitar solo making this a solid closer.

The Bluesland Horn Band - Six - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Six, from The Bluesland Horn and it's a cool, funky blues jam. Opening with lazy shuffle, My Old Truck, Marty Cochrane leads on vocal, backed with a full horn compliment including Miguelito Valdez and Doug Zacharias on trumpet, Barrie Sorenson on tenor sax, Armando Alvarez on bari sax, Tim Keels on tuba and with Casey Ryder on bass, Jan Randle on piano, Ross Hall on drums and Terry Medd on acoustic guitar and dobro. Cool opener. Shuffle In The Attic has a Freddy King feel with Medd laying in some real nice guitar riffs and Alvarez on bari holds the bottom tight. I really like rocker, Rock My Roll with it's swagger. Featuring some real nice guitar work by Medd and a strong sax solo by Jerry Cook, this track has attitude. Alley Shuffle again finds Medd up front with a taste of T Bone Walker but with the punchy horn section of Doug Zacharias, John Reid and Paul Evans and with Guy Plecash on piano and Gavin Sorochan on drums. Wrapping the release is So Long, Goodbye with Jack Lavin on vocal, harp and bass. I really like Lavin's harp tone which adds great texture to the track. A solid shuffle featuring Medd on slide, Miles Jackson on organ and Ross Hall on drums, this is a solid closer.
