4.0 out of 5 stars modern blues, January 28, 2003

This review is from: Soledad Brothers (Audio CD)

The Soledad brothers have become widely welcomed by a huge fan base create by the explosion of new bands coming from Detroit who offer new stylizations of old songs and material. When reading the previous reviews of this record, I decided to keep an open mind when purchasing this record. I am a huge fan of blues music and it makes me happy to see modern rock bands incorporate blues into their music. With an unbiased approach to review this album, I can give you this:

1. The songs on this album are short and the album seems to go by fast.
2. The singer's voice at times is a little irritating by not so bad that I can't listen to the music.
3. some of the material seems to be repetitive, in that the songs are structured around simple 12 bar blues beats
4. The content of a majority of the songs is rich and enjoyable (guitar abilities, harmonica abilities, song writing abilities, originality).

Overall, I would recommend the Soledad Brothers to anyone who has interest in the White Stripes or an interest in blues music. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some people are such snobs!, September 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Soledad Brothers (Audio CD)

Get over yourselves. This band is great, especially live. They have energy, dissonance, power, and yes, creativity. This isn't wannabe blues, it's new. A couple reviewers mentioned the Rolling Stones, heck, the same stuff they are crying about was boo-hoo'd over them too. Probably the same crowd who cried in their bouquets when Dylan went electric. Free your mind! This is good, fun, rockin' stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This Album and then See Them Live, November 12, 2001

Eduardo B. Quinanes (CHICAGO, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soledad Brothers (Audio CD)

I haven't been this excited about a band since The Gories. It's no-nonsense, raw, dirty garage blues. And what's more important is that it is what Rock N' Roll should be about: Having a good time. I Recently saw them live in Chicago and they are even better than I expected. How a band like this came out of Toledo, OH is beyond me. Maybe it's because they are so close to Detroit cause that's the only thing I can think of. Hopefully they will tour more in the future and if you get a chance to see them, do it. You won't regret it.
