Bluessmyth
The Opening Act to Bluessmyth's Newest Self Titled CD is the most unique I heard on any CD or Album. Titled, The Duel, you can just imagine yourself at a Concert with the lights turned low and the Smoke rising from the Stage. After 52 seconds of The Duel between a Gritty Blues Guitar and a set of Power Drums, Bluessmyth sinks it's teeth in. From it's first real non-instrumental, Rollin Penny, you would think you were listening to ZZ Top. After listening to the Vocals, you could of easily been fooled into believing Rollin Penny was a New ZZ Top release. Track 3, Bring it On, is familiar in sound to something I heard in the past, but I just can't nail down a specific band it sounds like, other then I do get hints of Uriah Heep near the end with the organ. After blowing us away with 2 great power songs, Bluessmyth then begins a Trilogy called, The Story of Emmett Till. Part 1, called Innocence Bound, is a nice 3 Minute Acoustical offering which rolls gracefully into Part 2, and my favorite song of the CD, Run For Your Life. Again we are reminded of ZZ Top with a nice Harmonica thrown in. Part 3, The Phoenix, is Instrumental, with the Power Drums, Guitars, and Harmonica, all taking their turns to shine. The next offering, Take The Road, slows it down a bit and gives us a beautiful melody in the stylings of the Allman Brothers. Bluessmyth finishes off their CD in style, with a fast paced Mean Mean Woman, and then for over 9 minutes they take you on a wonderful Bluesy Stevie Ray Vaughn Style Journey with their self titled song, Bluessmyth, that not only solidifies your appreciation of this band, but also leaves you with a lingering feeling of WOW. For those of you whom are fans of good hard driving ZZ Top style rocky blues mixed in with a little Stevie Ray Vaughn, you are going to love this latest offering from Bluessmyth. I give this CD,
