CD ReviewsNear perfect compositions and collaborations George Dionne | Cape Cod, MA | 02/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Good
Kelly Hansen reaches down deep for his strong vocal performance on "Don't Keep Me Waiting". The track is loaded with seventies style keyboard tones and piercing solo work by Stuart Smith. Rock journeyman Joe Lynn Turner appears on three tracks. "Still Got the Blues", a pure blues track that has Stuart flexing his classical guitar skills a la Richie Blackmore, while JLT shows that he's on top of his game with raw and emotional vocals. "It's Got to Be Love" has JLT being backed up by familiar Rainbow-like keyboard melodies and a brass section. He delivers a great line to conclude the chorus: you know I hate you so much /its got be love. More classical guitar reigns supreme on "Shadow of the Tyburn Tree". Is that a pan flute I hear? It does fit appropriately with the songs 15th Century theme. Stuart's fretwork takes a back seat to warm keyboard riffing on "Life on the Line", but he cuts loose when it comes to the break. Bobby Kimball handles vocals duties. Kelly Hansen returns for the power ballad "Do You Ever Think About Me". It's just Kelly's smooth vocals and a somber drumbeat during the verses, but it's not long before Stuart comes in with the riffs. Kelly brings it up a notch to put the chorus over-the-top. Hansen switches gears on "Trouble in Paradise". This time he's backed by a bluesy, boogie-woogie beat, complete with pounding piano keys and heavy riffs. Smith pulls off some great improvised guitar licks. "Howlin' at the Moon" features the weathered vocals of Paul Shortino. The meaty hooks really compliment his voice. The Bad Nothing The Verdict Blues-based hard rock has been missing from the musical landscape for a longtime. Fortunately, Heaven & Earth are here to fill that void with their near perfect compositions and collaborations. " |
