CD Reviews
This CD of tough blues and gospel inspired R&B features the last recorded performance of recently departed drummer Wilbert "Junkyard Dog" Arnold. The grooves are tight and funky, with Jack Cruz on bass and Marc Adams on keys filling out the rhythm section. Brother Tyrone's vocal delivery is gritty, smoky, and real, giving the original tunes a lived in feeling. The producer of the record, Everette Eaglin, plays guitar and directs the background singers, from The Gospel Stars, Reverend Mark Sandifer and Elijah Ott. The CD was recorded at Piety St. Studios, which by now has the reputation of being the best studio in town, and its owner, Mark Bingham, plays the role of engineer on this record. He gets a clear representation of the musicians and their sound onto the disc. The guest appearances by Tricky Dick Dixon and Sean C. are nice additions, creating vocal interplay and harmony that give the tunes they appear on something extra special to check out. A great, fun listen, this disc is recommended for all fans of blues and R&B.
