Back Home

From their EPK, “soaring riffs, stunning solos, pounding rhythms and vocals that just nails supreme. This is the approach taken by the French Progressive Metal band as they get to their fifth studio album, titled “Back Home.” The album does not only mean back home to Earth for the space-travelers in the story of the concept, but it also means back home for the band, as they have returned to their original roots.”…

"Go Back Home to the Blues" is the second Knickerbocker All-Stars record, building on the enthusiastically received "Open Mic at the Knick". Once again the deep pool of New England blues talent has provided knockout versions of blues and R&B classics, this time adding some new songs which are perfect fits stylistically. The Knickerbocker All-Stars are celebrated veterans and masters of their craft. Original Roomful of Blues members and other Roomful alumni, members of the Duke Robillard Band, Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, and vocalists Willie J. Laws and Brian Templeton all make a powerful blend, and among them they've garnered literally dozens of BMA and Grammy nominations. The songs are characteristic of the ones played in the heyday of the Knick, first done by early Roomful influences Bobby Bland, Freddie King, Guitar Slim, Cleanhead Vinson, and many others, and this crew reanimates them with authority.

SAXOPHONIST/COMPOSER BOBBY WATSON DRAWS INSPIRATION from the rich jazz heritage of his Kansas City hometown on his spirited album Back Home in Kansas City. It features an all-star quintet with trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Curtis Lundy and drummer Victor Jones, with a guest appearance by singer Carmen Lundy.

Gunther Pauler’s early Stockfisch SACDs were incredibly well-recorded stereo-only discs, and after some experimentation with a few surround releases, it appears with their latest batch of releases that Stockfisch has returned to that winning stereo-only approach. (…) Gunther Pauler is a remarkably good recording engineer, and he’s given us another gem with this new disc. (…) I’d waste no time getting this excellent album, it’s very highly recommended! Five stars!
