(3 Customer Reviews)
Personnel: Danko Jones (vocals, guitar); John Calabrese (bass); Damon Richardson (drums).
OK, let's be clear: You have to check your political correctness at the door when you listen to this one. Danko Jones has swapped damaged high-test soul music for a more blues-oriented rock sound, and with that change comes a more upfront pose, especially about bad women, bad love, and bad attitude. It's certainly a more polished and confident sound out of the Toronto trio, but it's a bit of a disappointment for listeners expecting the slightly more original sound found on the band's two EPs. Instead, the band's first full-length album offers up a loud guitar rifforama far more reminiscent of AC/DC or Soundgarden (perhaps this sound was the natural outcome of the time the band spent touring Europe and hanging out in Sweden -- there's certainly more of a kinship now with a band like Hellacopters than any touchstone from beforehand). That's not to say the release is bad by any means. It rocks like hell, and even if sentiments like "if you wanna know how to play the blues, get yourself a woman" seem retrogressive, they're balanced off by sly nods to the Temptations, a shout-out to everyone regardless of their skin color ("Caramel City"), and the sheer rock & roll passion throughout the whole album. As a special bonus, the CD comes with an enhanced multimedia portion with a video for the "Sound of Love" single, as well as two hidden tracks. ~ Sean Carruthers

PERSONALITY Brilliant album. Sometimes it seems you are listening to Jimi Hendrix, sometimes to AC/CD, sometimes to Bad Company, but there is something inside that makes Danko Jones sound like Danko Jones. You can`t call it originality, but you can call it personality. Submitted by garostegi (Madrid, Spain) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
blastin' good music This is a very good album, good hard rocking music. A few tracks seem to be ac/dc ish, which is good. A very good sounding band considering its a three piece. Submitted by a reviewer (thunder bay) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Born A Lion album
$13.29 THE RIDE represents the passage of time, the rise and fall of the sun; the beginning of life to the end; and then renewal; rebirth. I wanted to describe the passage of time, as I experience it, in terms of music. I also wanted to show the many sides of who I am using elements from different styles of music because that, to me, is how most of us are. We are not represented by any one particular thing...but by many things creating a whole unique being. Music is a tool for communication and it is my intention to instill hope, inspire, encourage, and remind everyone to enjoy life...to live...to dream...and to just plain have fun! Life is what we make of it, and although we have a lot to learn as we live it, I hope that we will strive to make the most of every part; bumps and all.This CD features elements of jazz, blues, renaissance, pop, celtic, and more! Mostly electronic in nature, Vicki has combined keyboards, electronic percussion and synths, with the smooth sounds of sax, acoustic and electric guitar and even flute and piccolo to create atmospheres which can take one through the day with a song to match each moment.Vicki's other CDs, "Chasing Dreams", "Finding My Way" and "The Journey To the Places In My Soul" are also available here at CDBaby.
