Editorial Reviews

Product Description
After wide acclaim from their debut album and a practice regiment that has left their jaw-dropping live shows tighter than a pegged pant leg, they've reached a little further into space, introduced a wonderfully psychedelic element to their sound & come out on the other side with Casting Shadows, a powerful rock album full of unforgettable nuggets. Member of RYE COALITION. "A mash up of British Invasion blues, guitar heroics & psychedelia that would bring a smile to Brian Jones' face.

4.0 out of 5 stars Retro Rockin' Good Time, April 11, 2008

By	Russell Garrett "YeOldeBlueswailer" (N.Y.C.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you dig 60s rock & roll from the likes of The Yardbirds, The Who, Creation and others you'll dig these New Jersey rockers. Nice retro sounding rock.

4.0 out of 5 stars second dose, June 20, 2008

By	Woodrow (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This record is a bug-out. Check them out live. They do a great version of "Night In Tunisia."

Chances are if you like this, you won't like Mighty High...In Drug City.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good psychedelic rock album from the Black Hollies, March 16, 2008

By	RadioNDN "RadioNDN" (Midwestern USA) - See all my reviews

New Jersey band the Black Hollies, directly inspired by 60's band like the Yardbirds and Blue Cheer, have followed up their debut with an album of full on psychedelic rock, complete with groovy, mind expanding lyrics, copious sitars, occasional Farfisa organs and quavering vocals and guitars. I don't think the music on Casting Shadows will strike most listeners as being like 60's psychedelic rock, but rather that is psychedelic rock from the 60's. It's conceived, played and even produced like an album from that period, though all the tracks are original Black Hollies compositions. Once you let yourself get into the spirit of things, the songs themselves are pretty irresistible, skilfully played, unpretentious, highly danceable and just great fun to listen to, all in all. The first single, "Paisley Pattern Ground," is a definite must hear. Other standout cuts: "The Autumn Chateau," "Hamilton Park Ballerina" and "Running Through My Mind."
