There's no one in the pop music world quite like Lee Oskar. His unique role as a founding member and former lead harmonica player for the pioneer funk/jazz group, WAR, won him international renown for over two and a half decades (1969-1993). Oskar's signature harp solos helped to define the WAR sound from the band's beginning in 1969, adding dashes of color to their R&B/Jazz/Rock and Latin influences. Oskar's position with WAR was a prominent one from their early days with singer Eric Burdon onwards. Audiences have marvelled at his improvisational wizardry, not to mention his animated stage presence. "My playing has become more aggressive over the years," he says. "In the beginning, my role was playing horn lines. Today, it's evolved to the point where I'm playing a lead instrument. If I'm not doing a solo, I'm playing counterlines - I try to paint within certain spaces in the music to help create the overall picture." The eclectic, multicultural nature of WAR's music is also evident in Oskar's solo projects. Three stellar albums released between 1976 and 1981 (and recently rereleased on CD) brought critical and popular acclaim including being voted No. 1 Instrumental Artist of the Year for 1976 in not one, but three major industry mags: Billboard, Cashbox and Record World. The albums, like Oskar's electrifying live performances, show the diverse influences that make up this hard-to-categorize musical giant. A renowned composer, his compositions have been featured on movie sound tracks and television commercials. He has been the recipient of many Gold and Platinum recordings and honored with special ASCAP Writing Awards. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1948, Oskar was six years old when a family friend gave him his first harmonica. "Everyone in my neighborhood was playing one that year," he remembers. "The next year, the fad was the yo-yo, but I had fallen in love with the harmonica, and stuck with it." He grew up listening to Danish radio, enjoying all types of music and cites Ray Charles as the biggest influence from that period. Oskar moved to the United States at the age of 18 with little more than a harmonica in his pocket. Arriving in Los Angeles, via a few other cities, Oskar soon met and joined forces with Eric Burdon who had recently disbanded the Animals and was searching for new collaborators. Together, the harp-playing Dane and the British blues-rock singer made the rounds of the L.A. clubs, eventually hooking up with the soon-to-be members of WAR. Burdon agreed to the novel idea of pairing up Oskar's harmonica with ...
| | Ross The Boss New Metal Leader CD (2008)
Finger Pickin Blues album
$13.45 
New Metal Leader is a pompous title for an album, but then, Ross Friedman, also known as Ross Funicello and Ross the Boss, is entitled to some pomposity. The guitarist played a crucial role in Manowar during their early years, contributing to power metal classics like 1982's Battle Hymns and 1984's Hail to England before leaving that outfit in 1988 -- and in his pre-Manowar days, he was with the Dictators, a fine New York City punk band. Some of Ross' admirers insist that Manowar lost all merit after Ross' departure, but truth be told, they offered their share of worthwhile albums in the 1990s and 2000s. Nonetheless, Ross is an important figure in power metal, and this 2008 release is a respectable solo outing from the veteran headbanger (who turned 54 that year). Ross doesn't sing on New Metal Leader; he sticks to lead guitar, while the vocals are provided by Patrick Fuchs (Carsten Kettering is on bass, Matthias "Matze" Mayer on drums). And Fuchs' Rob Halford-isms serve Ross well on melodic but forceful tracks such as "Death and Glory," "Matador," "Blood of Knives," and "We Will Kill," all of which are straight-ahead power metal in the epic Judas Priest/Iron Maiden/Manowar tradition. New Metal Leader doesn't run away from power metal's stereotypical "swords, Viking warriors, and sorcerers" imagery; Ross passionately embraces every power metal cliché imaginable and does so without irony, which is a big part of the album's campy, overblown charm. This 48-minute CD won't win over those who have insisted that Manowar and similar bands are too cartoonish for their own good, but die-hard fans of this type of fantasy-based power metal will find that New Metal Leader -- although not quite in a class with Hail to England -- is an enjoyably consistent solo effort from Ross the Boss.
