Synopsis

Album Description

Bona Fide marks the third release for up and coming jam band Psychedelic Breakfast. The band, known for exploring the roots of funk, jazz, reggae and rock, and blending it into a volatile mix, showcase their efforts on this new live CD. Psychedelic Breakfast's unbridled talent shines through on the hour long romp recorded in Northampton, MA on September 14, 2002. Their mastery is highlighted by guitarist Tim Palmieri's virtuoso chops and drummer Adrian Tramontano's deft rhythms. Expanding on last year's appearances at South by Southwest, and festivals like High Sierra and Berkfest, Psychedelic Breakfast is expected to tour throughout the year playing clubs, theaters and summer festivals. Bona Fide is essential listening in the jam band genre, and for anyone with a appreciation for skilled musicianship.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Of the jam rock scene, these guys are gaining progressively more recognition, and with good reason. A listen to anything on this album will reveal top-quality musicianship and talent on the part of all four members of the group. It is often said that a jam group plays best live, and this representation of the quartet shows them to be anything but slouches as they begin with the odd time signature-laden "Drunk Monk Bar," move through various shades of guitar monster Tim Palmieri's massive riffs and solos, before ending up in such exceptional jams as Escher's Etchings, Spunk, and Hot 'Lanta (an Allman Brothers cover, featuring perhaps some of the best work of guest guitarist Seth Yacavone). The cornerstone track on this album though is Rufus, an epic jam which plays around with the groups distinct reggae feel while again quickly returning to some of the craziest guitar slinging being practiced today. Hot album all around, with the exception that the vocals aren't up to the standard of the instrumental qualities. This album is excellent for cranking up on a good stereo, I can think of no jam album better for that purpose."
