 (1 Customer Review)
Following a pair of vocal showcase albums that involved classy yet fun spins on the likes of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Nina Simone, and Billy Strayhorn, Queen Latifah enlists producers Cool & Dre to help concoct PERSONA, a willfully schizophrenic set of pop-oriented material. As anyone familiar with her recent screen and studio work would expect, Latifah's shifts from character to character are not rocky. "What's the Plan" is an obvious Cheryl Lynn circa-"Encore" impersonation, albeit one streaked with Dre's vocal effect-driven gibberish. "Cue the Rain" works a rocking backdrop--not unlike a fist-pumping cut off a mid-'80s soundtrack--with quotes from Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain." One of the more contemporary tracks, the sleek and flirty "Take Me Away (With You)," features Marsha Ambrosius and is surprisingly effective. Just about all of it is enjoyable. Few vocalists who can sing and rap display such versatility on one album.

Catdaddy Jones, a busman's holiday for four veteran New York sidemen, Geoff Worton, M.D. Meyer, Steve Merola, and Paul Bisbano, is a straight-ahead blues-rock band in a familiar style. The promotional sheet for their debut album, Late Night in the Doghouse, says, "Think the Asbury Jukes with a grittier singer and Jeff Beck on guitar!," and among the "key selling ...

This power Pop/Rock trio from California takes the Rock and Roll spirit of the 50’s and 60’s, squeezes in a heavy dose of 80’s Pop and finishes it off with a dollop of 90’s grunge. Sounds like Led Zeppelin got together with Buddy Holly and wrote a few songs with Joe Meek producing.The Band is:Rich Giannone-Guitar, Vocals What can we say about Rich that hasn't been said by worn out women across the country. A swinger's swinger, Rich knows how to shake it, bake it and kick it aside when the time comes. And he likes his guitars like he likes his women; highly strung with big knobs and first class bridge work. A well figured jumbo size body doesn't hurt either. But seriously folks, I joke about Rich because, well, he's not here to stop me. That's right, Rich is the guitarist, so right now he's probably off in some corner somewhere trying to nail down some obscure jazz chord, leaving me here to sing his praises, or, well, whatever else the hell I want to do. Yes, Rich loves his vintage gear. Amps up the yazoo. Old Magnatones, Marshalls, Fenders, Boogies, whatever. Rich is an amp fiend. I've seen him spend an entire Sunday swapping out pre-amp tubes in a Marshall Jubilee just to get "that" sound. Oh yeah, there are lots of guitars too, with one of his current favorites being an old Supro slide guitar which you can hear on several cuts of TBT's. What else? Fenders, Gretsch's, the old reliable Gibson SG which he's had forever. I'm not even gonna talk about the vintage foot pedals, although I will say he's still pining for the Univibe that got away. Rich did all the guitar work on the album, and also shows up on keyboard on a few cuts. I guess he'll pick up the drums and bass next. Pretty soon he'll dump us and go solo. Then he won't have time for all those women. Paul Giannone-Drums Oh crap, now I have to say something about Paul. Paul's a drummer. I'm afraid of Paul. You know damn well he's going to read this at some point, and that'll be it. Then I've had it. Hmm...what can I say? Gee, Paul's a swell guy, ain't he? He sure is a great drummer, ain't he? I think he's about five inches taller than me, too. And he drums all the time, so he has big, powerful arms from banging, banging, banging. Boom, boom, boom, on my head...er...the heads. But seriously folks, I'm just gonna go ahead and say what I want because when you come right down to it, I run faster than he does. Paul loves his day gig. He loves his day gig because he makes lots of cash, and Paul digs cash. Who wouldn't? I would if I had some. Every once in awhile we can still convince Paul to ditch his day gig and bang a kit, which he does with wild abandon. You think it's easy to get Paul to drum slow on something like October? You try it sometime, and see how far you get. Paul's urges drive him to speed punk drumming. He makes scary faces when asked to play a slow number. It's not good when Paul starts making scary faces. He's ...
