This band is starting to gel and it’s getting real baby! If they continue to grow and blend with this much musical ferocity then the future is exciting for The Dead Daisies…heck, the ‘right now’ for the band is pretty freaking good too! This is Gov’t Mule meets DD! The next track, “Dead and Gone” is Skynyrd on steroids! Look no further than “Set Me Free” to hear what I am attempting to describe. The thing that makes this album, when compared to their other releases, better is the perfect blend of technical excellence, a bluesy hard rock vibe and more emotive songwriting. Lowy holds his own…and in reviews is probably not mentioned enough to be honest. Both riff, solo and shred…but…come on…Doug Aldrich happens to be one of the best hard rock guitarists in the game today. The guitar players…Lowy and Aldrich are a one/two punch of hard rocking distortion. Marco is the glue that sticks it all together. Marco Mendoza….what’s not to love? The low end thumper is a class act, on and off stage. Deen has overcome his share of personal issues and, as this album proves, he is firing on all cylinders once again. The rhythm section of Castronovo and Mendoza proves that a good bass player and drummer make a great band sound even greater. His entire effort on the album is passionate and powerful. He has a soulful reverence in vocals…that is until he turns into a mother-bleeping rock star screaming fool! This guy is ripping it from beginning to end. Hats off to John for finding his groove and exploiting the fuck out it! While Corabi has always been known as a solid voice, his performance on this sucker is top notch. He has not sung with this much emotion in many years. Joining him on this album are drummer Deen Castronovo, vocalist John Corabi, guitarist Doug Aldrich and bassist Marco Mendoza. If you’re going to put out a great album, with great songs…then you’d better get some great musicians! David did just that. The band is the brainchild of guitarist David Lowy. This Supergroup has officially made their first SUPER album! RATINGS: A = must own B = buy it C= average D = yawn F = puke
