BlackSheep II |

Have you ever heard of Joe Satriani? Make him black and
you will have BlackSheep, better known as Willie Basse. This guy is one of those
industry musicians. Everybody knows about him, everybody has played with him and
none of us have really heard him. Until know that is. He has come out with his
second album, in apparently a long time. I'm a bit surprised. This guy is obviously talented. The bass work is awesome and the songs are crisp and clean. What surprises me, though, is that the style of the music is a bit out-dated. This is solo-heavy 80s metal if I ever heard it, and trust me, I did. I'm an old school mutha here. So of course I'm loving the blues riffs, solos, screaming vocals and fat bass lines, but I don't know if you will. Most people aren't quite as old school as me. If you want to hear, though, what real musicians sounded like when they played their instruments and tried to make it interesting for your ears, check this one out. If not, keep listenting to your droning pussyfoot music.....did I just say that out loud? Sorry, c-ya. Next |
