Editorial Reviews

Awesome fifth studio disc by the BLINDSIDE BLUES BAND, features 11 trax (69 minutes) of killer, bad-ass, straight-ahead, in-your-face, solid bluesy heavy guitar riffage with powerful rippin’ lead guitars that are guaranteed to rock your world. "Long Hard Road" is a classic modern-day heavy guitar riff monster with a way-kool retro-70’s Les Paul through a Marshall vibe. Fronted by Mike "riffmaster supreme" Onesko on guitar & vocals and joined by original killer B.B.B. blues/rock axeripper Scotty J. on guitar and Bill Gressock on 3rd guitar and complete with the powerhouse rhythm section of Emery Ceo on drums and Michael Barrick, the band rip it up and shred their way through a no-holds-barred explosive triple heavy guitar attack that will rip your face off and satisfy even the most hard-core guitar addict. From the killer powerful bluesy riffage of opener "Electric Woman" to the awesome amped-up version of the classic Cream jam "Outside Woman Blues", on through the B.B.B.’s rippin’ heavy version of the obscure U.F.O. with Michael Schenker bluesy heavy guitar rocker "Pack It Up And Go" from the "Obsession" disc, Onesko & Co. mean serious business when it comes down to REAL heavy guitar music on the "Long Hard Road" disc. As an added bonus there is a mega-awesome 15 minute live-in-the-studio improv. power trio jam as a hidden bonus track where brother Mikey O. gets down hard on his guitar with a heavy vintage Trower vibe that sounds like this killer jam landed from 1975!!! The "Long Hard Road" c.d. (their first disc for GROOVEYARD RECORDS, an indie label dedicated to outstanding TOTAL GUITAR music), is definitely their best/heaviest work to date. The BLINDSIDE BLUES BAND: "Long Hard Road" disc is HIGHLY recommended to fans of CREAM, MOUNTAIN, LESLIE WEST, ROBIN TROWER, PAT TRAVERS, MONTROSE, U.F.O. w/ SCHENKER and all other classic heavy guitar rockers. Fans of the previous BLINDSIDE BLUES BAND discs (in particular, the first two B.B.B. c.d.’s) will heavily dig the bad-ass killer heavy-duty hi-powered bluesy riffage that kicks serious ass all over the place on the awesome "Long Hard Road" disc. If you dig outstanding bluesy heavy guitar riffage, do yourself a favor and take a "musical ride" down the "LONG HARD ROAD" with the BLINDSIDE BLUES BAND who definitely KEEP THE ROCK ALIVE with their awesome brand of classic bluesy riff heaviness.

Mike Onesko & Co. deliver the serious bluesy heavy guitar goods
on their excellent 5th studio disc. Obviously the last reviewer
William J. Satterthwaite doesn't know what he's talking about
based on his lame, negative review of this Excellent bluesy heavy
guitar disc. For those of you out there who dig serious bluesy
heavy guitar riffage, make sure to tune into the Long Hard Road
disc along with the AWESOME new Blindside Blues Band disc,
Keepers of the Flame disc which you can also find on Amazon.
Both discs deliver and the Blindside Blues Band are the Real deal.

This was the last cd from Blindside Blues Band that I had to buy to complete my catalog of their releases. I own them all from the 1993 s/t to the last release "Rare Tracks" and I gotta tell ya, this band is awesome! In the beginning (first 4) they started out as a bit more of a heavy blues band, but as they progressed into hard rock/blues more in the Robin Trower/Jimi Hendrix style Mike Onesko's playing just seemed to get better, and better, and better. These guys rock, and in my opinion is one of the better bands still playing today. If you love Trower/Hendrix/Travers/Zeppelin/Cream then your gonna dig these guys big time, as a matter of fact, once you buy one of their cd's your gonna want to collect them all. Another easy 5 star release here, check it out!

Not my kind of music, rock or blues. Vocals on some cuts is grating and band not real tight.
